RHUBARB FLUFF
Absolutely delicious! This old fashioned dessert never fails to please. Being a very very old recipe, one has to keep in mind that todays rhubarb is so much sweeter, you may wish to cut the sugar back to one cup or possibly one and a quarter cups ... depending on just how much sweetness you prefer.

RHUBARB PUFF
I came up with this recipe one day when I had some cooked rhubarb left over and needed a dessert for my husband and me. It's also good served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. -Shirley Kasbee, Hadley, Pennsylvania

Steps:
- In a heavy 2 1/2- to 3-quart heavy pot combine rhubarb, sugar, and water and bring to a boil, covered, over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat, and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb begins to break down, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Remove lid and briskly simmer, stirring frequently, until rhubarb is completely broken down into a thick purée and reduced to about 2 cups, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Transfer rhubarb to a bowl and let it cool, then chill, covered, until cold, about 1 hour. DO AHEAD: Purée can be made and refrigerated, covered, up to 2 days ahead.
- Beat cream in a deep bowl with an electric mixer until it holds soft peaks-for this fool, I like the cream to be slightly beyond the soft peak stage but not quite stiff-and fold it into the rhubarb. Don't feel you have to completely incorporate the cream and the rhubarb into a smooth pink fluff. I like to leave it a little streaky with swirls of rhubarb coursing through the cream.
- Divide the fool among 6 goblets.
Tips:
- Choose the ripest rhubarb stalks: Look for stalks that are firm and have a deep red color. Avoid stalks that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Prepare the rhubarb properly: Cut the rhubarb stalks into small pieces, about 1 inch thick. Remove any leaves or blemishes.
- Don't overcook the rhubarb: Rhubarb should be cooked until it is tender, but still holds its shape. Overcooked rhubarb will become mushy.
- Sweeten the rhubarb to taste: Rhubarb is naturally tart, so you will need to add some sweetener to your recipe. You can use sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
- Chill the rhubarb fluff before serving: This will help it to set and firm up.
Conclusion:
Rhubarb fluff is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for summer. It is a great way to use up fresh rhubarb and it can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its light and fluffy texture and its sweet and tangy flavor, rhubarb fluff is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
