Rhubarb Bellinis

Has anyone tried Hugh FW's Rhubarb Bellini recipe in River Cottage Year?
I have a glut of Rhubarb and am considering serving Bellinis from my shed.

Hugh Fw says that they are high favourite and give the classic peach bellini a "a run for its money."
To make rhubarb syrup ...
Cut up 500g of rhubarb
Put in a pan with thejuice of 2 oranges
Quiet simmer for about 10 mins until tender
Use a seive to strain off syrup into a jar
Leave to cool
Put in fridge to chill
Will keep in sealed jar in fridge for up to one month.
To serve...
A good slosh of syrup in every glass
Top up with dry sparkling wine or champagne - I wouldn't bother with the latter
You can use a baby rhubarb stalk dipped in lightly beaten egg white and then caster sugar as a decorative edible swizzle stick.
I'll let you know if I get round to this - there is quite a lot of enthusiasm for a tasting session down on the allotment.

I haven't tried that but a particular favourite of mine is rhubarb, apple and ginger. Stew some rhubarb (with a little sugar if it is really tart). Puree it and then dilute the sludge with apple juice. Pour some of this mix into a glass with ice and top with fiery ginger beer!
Delish! (with or without vodka!)

flossie,
Is there no sugar in the recipe or does it depend on the tartness of the rhubarb?

I had quite a lot of syrup left from cooking some rhubarb and I have put the syrup in ice cube trays and put them in the freezer. Now we can have rhubarb ice cubes with our drinks. They taste lovely with a variety of different drinks. :) busy_lizzie
