This is fantastic! I have a steady supply of rhubarb during summer from the garden of a friend so had my winter supply to use from my freezer. I served it in ramekins as 1 part of a fruit dessert combo to the delight of dinner party guests Fri nite & it was very well-received. I used my stick-blender in the prep, added Sprite Zero in place of the champagne or ginger ale & it was soooooo good! I did not manage the pic process due to my impatient guests, but I will soon to be sure. Thx for posting this lovely alternative for my rhubarb supply. Loved it!
