METHOD

Place rhubarb and sugar in a small saucepan over low heat.

Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb begins to go pulpy. Add strawberries and cook for a further 2 minutes, or until strawberries just begin to release their juices. The aim is to keep the strawberry quarters intact.

Remove from heat and cool. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Just before serving stir in lemon juice.

Sprinkle each serve with Michael's Brown Bread Praline and top with Vanilla Crème Fraîche .
