• To make a lovely Red Wine-Poached Rhubarb Compote that goes beautifully with this sorbet, use cookbook author Susan Loomis's recipe: for 6 servings, cut 1 pound (450 g) rhubarb into green bean-sized strips. In a nonreactive saucepan, combine 2 cups (500 ml) red wine, 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 cinnamon stick, and a pinch of ground cloves. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the wine is reduced by about one-third. Serve a scoop of Strawberry-Rhubarb Sorbet in the middle.

ROASTED RHUBARB WITH ROSE WATER AND STRAWBERRY SORBET

Steps:

• Make sorbet:
• Cook water and sugar in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and cool syrup completely.
• Purée strawberries with syrup in a food processor until smooth, then force through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and stir in lemon juice. If mixture isn't already cold, quick-chill by putting bowl in an ice bath and stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes.
• Freeze mixture in ice cream maker, then transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden, at least 3 hours.
• Roast rhubarb while sorbet freezes:
• Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in middle.
• Whisk together sugar and potato starch in a 13- by 9-inch shallow baking dish. Add rhubarb and toss. Roast until rhubarb is just tender (not falling apart), 20 to 25 minutes.
• Cool to warm, about 30 minutes, then sprinkle rose water over rhubarb. Serve rhubarb and its juices with sorbet.
