Stewed Rhubarb and Rhubarb Fool. Time—1½ hour.

Rhubarb, lemon-rind, loaf sugar.

Wash the rhubarb, peel it, cut into pieces about three inches long, put it with the sugar, lemon-rind and enough water to cover it, either in a stew-pan, or in an earthenware jar in the oven, for about 1 hour. If liked, it may then be passed through a sieve, and well mixed with the beaten yolk of an egg, while the white should be beaten to a stiff froth, and used to ornament the dish.

Gooseberry Fool can be made the same way.
