Rhubarb Sorbet

When I was little we used to grow red rhubarb and my mom used to make the most delicious chilled Rhubarb soup. Well I called it soup, but it was served as a cold fruity soup-like dessert, or sometimes as a sauce over ice cream! Yum! I remember it being so incredibly delicious so when I found red rhubarb at my local U-Pick farm, I knew I needed to grab a pound and create something delicious with it! I took my mom’s basic recipe but then let it chill and it created the most amazing dessert ever: Rhubarb Sorbet!

You can top this with a little fresh mint, or even a few strawberries! Or for a more decadent treat, add a touch of hot fudge! Just eat it fast before it melts.
