January 28, 2018

The ease of Jane's rhubarb gift went into this unproblematic dessert - stewed rhubarb interspersed alongside a kokosnoot sago pudding. It's to a greater extent than or less other recipe I've held onto for to a greater extent than than a decade, this fourth dimension from Cook (almost) Anything, in addition to I'm glad it's endure having its moment.

Since it was a hot weekend, I made this a yoke of hours inwards advance in addition to popped it into the refrigerator to chill. That actually sets upwardly the sago! I'm going to relish remaking this dessert inwards cooler weather, when I tin serve it warm alongside a to a greater extent than custardy texture.

Both the rhubarb in addition to the sago are cooked alongside generous quantities of saccharide in addition to the overall resultant is really sweet. I'll consider reducing the saccharide inwards the sago element inwards time to come batches, to practise a stronger flavor contrast. The sweetness sago could likewise move good alongside tangy fresh fruit, similar pineapple. I've got a lot of leftover seed tapioca to figure out my favourite combinations!
