STRAWBERRY, ROSE, AND RHUBARB SOUP

This fresh, fruity dessert soup, created by pastry chef Amy Pearce, is a nice balance of sweet and tart.

Serves 4

2 rhubarb stalks, sliced into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons Florida Crystals (natural sugar)
2 tablespoons orange juice, freshly squeezed
1 cup water
2 teaspoons rose water
11/2 teaspoons arrowroot, dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
11/2 cups strawberries, chopped
2 tablespoons orange zest (or fresh mint) for garnish

Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss rhubarb, 1/2 cup sugar, and orange juice in a bowl. Pour the mixture onto a baking pan and bake 10 minutes, until rhubarb is cooked through but retains its shape. Let cool.

In a saucepan, combine water, 2 tablespoons sugar, and rose water over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Slowly whisk in arrowroot slurry. Continue to cook, without boiling, for 2 to 3 minutes until liquid becomes clear.

Remove from heat; stir in strawberry/rhubarb mixture. Refrigerate for 2 hours (until well chilled).

To serve, divide the soup among 4 bowls and garnish with orange zest.
