blender, or put through a vegetable mill. 2. Soften the gelatin in 2
tablespoons cold water, then add to the hot
rhubarb juice and stir until completely dissolved. Add the puree. 3.
Beat the cream until stiff. 4. Beat the egg whites until they begin to
stiffen, then add the
remaining One half cup sugar and the vanilla, continuing to beat until
stiff peaks form. 5. Fold first the eggwhite mixture into the rhubarb,
then the whipped

souffle mold. Chill for at least six hours. Remove the collar and
decorate the top with fresh strawberries and rosettes of whipped
cream piped from a pastry tube. ~
