  4       c            Chopped rhubarb
  2 1/4   c            Sugar
  1                    Envelope gelatin
  1       c            Heavy cream
  4                    Egg whites
  1       t            Vanilla
 12                    Fresh strawberries

 1.  Cook the rhubarb with 1/4 cup water and 1 3/4 cup
 sugar in a heavy
     bottomed saucepan for about 10 minutes until soft.

 food mill or a
     blender, or put through a vegetable mill.
 2.  Soften the gelatin in 2 tablespoons cold water,
 then add to the hot
     rhubarb juice and stir until completely dissolved.
 Add the puree. 3.  Beat the cream until stiff.
 4.  Beat the egg whites until they begin to stiffen,
 then add the
     remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the vanilla,
 continuing to beat until
     stiff peaks form.
 5.  Fold first the eggwhite mixture into the rhubarb,
 then the whipped
     cream.  Make a collar of wax paper and fit it
 around a 1 1/2 quart
     souffle mold.  Chill for at least six hours.
 Remove the collar and
     decorate the top with fresh strawberries and
 rosettes of whipped
     cream piped from a pastry tube.
