Rhubarb Sauce On Custard Recipes

BAKED RHUBARB CUSTARD

Steps:

• Prepare rhubarb: Clean and chop into small pieces, about 3 cm/ 1.2 inch. Place in a pot and add the water and 100 g/ 3.5 oz/ 1/2 cup sugar. Cover, bring to a boil, and simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes. Strain through a sieve, but don't push through the strainer.
• Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius/ 320 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Make the custard: Beat the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract with a fork. Bring the milk to a boil, but don't let it boil (Note). Slowly add the milk to the egg mixture while beating with the fork. Add the rhubarb and stir gently. Pour everything into a baking dish.
• Waterbath: Place the baking dish with the custard into a larger baking tray and pour boiling water (from a kettle) into the larger tray to come halfway up the baking dish containing the custard.
• Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. It is done when the top of the custard is quivering to the touch, but it is not liquid. Take the custard out of the water and let it stand for a while before serving; it will continue setting while it stands.

RHUBARB SAUCE ON CUSTARD

Steps:

• Cut rhubarb in to one inch pieces and place with water in a pot. Bring to a boil and then lower heat to a simmer. Allow to stew, uncovered, until the rhubarb cooks down. You want it the consistency of chunky apple sauce.
• Add the honey and lemon juice and remove from heat. Stir well.
• Place the cream and agar flakes in a thick bottomed pot. Heat the cream over low heat until it just starts to bubble.
• Remove from heat.
• Put three egg yolks in a small bowl or cup. Add the heated cream, one tablespoon at a time, to the egg yolks, stirring after each addition, until the eggs become warm. You do not want them to bake, just to be closer to the temperature of the cream.
• Add the yolks into the pot of cream and stir well. Put back on low heat and bring back to a near boil.
• Place the vanilla and stevia in a glass bowl and put a sieve over it. Pour the custard through the sieve, into the bowl. A lot of the agar flakes and any cooked egg will remain in the sieve to be discarded.
• Pour custard into six small bowls. Set aside until the rhubarb is finished.
• Spoon the rhubarb over the custard and serve.

RHUBARB CUSTARDS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350. Butter six 5 1/2-inch gratin dishes (1 inch deep), and dust with sugar; arrange on a rimmed baking sheet. Toss rhubarb with 1/4 cup sugar, and divide among dishes. Cover each first with parchment and then with foil, and bake until rhubarb is just beginning to release liquid and soften, about 30 minutes. Leave oven on.
• Puree milk, cream, flour, eggs and yolk, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth. Divide mixture evenly among dishes. Bake, uncovered, until just set, 22 to 24 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes.
