Ingredients
800 g thin rhubarb stalks
1 vanilla bean
2⁄3 cup (160 ml) dry white wine
3 to 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
500 g strawberries
2 tablespoons orange liqueur
1 tablespoon icing (confectioners’) sugar

- Split open vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out seeds. Cut in half crosswise. Place rhubarb, vanilla pod, vanilla seeds, wine and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil.

- Purée until a strawberry froth forms on the surface.
