Rhubarb and strawberry trifle with a crisp caramel top

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 Sticks rhubarb
1 tablespoon Dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
1 pinch Cinnamon
100 millilitres Red wine
250 grams Fresh strawberries
1 tablespoon Icing sugar
250 millilitres Double cream
1 Vanilla pod; seeds only
Icing sugar for topping

Directions

Clean the rhubarb and cut into 1 inch pieces. Place into a pan with the dark sugar and place on to the heat. When the sugar starts to caramelise, add the vinegar, cinnamon and red wine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, until thick and syrupy. Allow to cool.

Wash and hull the strawberries and place half of them into a food processor with 1 tablespoon of icing sugar. Blend to a smooth sauce and sieve through a fine strainer.

Cut the remaining strawberries in half and mix with the strained sauce.

Whisk up the double cream with the icing sugar and the vanilla pod until stiff. Spoon some of the rhubarb into the bottom of a glass, top with some of the cream and then the strawberries and so on until the glass is full.

Dust with lots of icing sugar and using a blow torch caramelise the top.
