Method

  1. Bring the sugar syrup to the boil.

  2. Cut the rhubarb into 7 mm thick slices.

  3. Arrange in a deep dish and cover with the strawberry syrup.

  4. Cover and poach in the oven at 180°C for about 15 minutes.

  5. Check whether the rhubarb is tender — do not over-bake as it softens further while cooling. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
