My notes

Tips

  • Frozen rhubarb and strawberries both work. Add the rhubarb straight from the freezer and give it 2 more minutes in the pan.
  • Green rhubarb tastes just as good but gives a paler, peachy pink. Use 30 g less rhubarb and 30 g more strawberries to bring the color back.
  • Cook the rhubarb up to 3 days ahead and keep it covered in the fridge. Blend it with the strawberries when you are ready to freeze.

Why it works

Rhubarb and strawberries are tart and low in sugar, so added sugar brings the mix to about 17%. Simmering breaks the stringy rhubarb down into a thick, smooth purée, and the fiber from both fruits gives the frozen tubpint body.
