Poached Rhubarb With Mango And Star Anise

Heaven is the palace, or presence-chamber, of the Supreme Being who is both the cause and source of all holy love. God, indeed, with respect to His essence is everywhere. He fills heaven and earth. But yet He is said on some accounts more especially to be in some places rather than others. He was said of old to dwell in the land of Israel above all other lands, and in Jerusalem above all other cities in that land, and in the temple above all other houses in that city, and in the holy of holies above all other apartments in that temple, and on the mercy seat over the ark above all other places in the holy of holies. But heaven is His dwelling place above all other places in the universe.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 170Ã¸C/325Ã¸F/gas mark 3.  Slice the rhubarb across
at 5cm (2 inches) intervals, if the slices  are a bit thick, slice them
in half lengthways too.  Peel the ginger, cut it in half and slice in
to small, very thin  pieces. Put the rhubarb, ginger and star anise in
a casserole dish.  Put the water, lime juice and sugar into a saucepan
and bring to the  boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Boil
fiercely for 2  minutes, then pour onto the rhubarb. Cover the
casserole and put on  the centre shelf of the oven for about 1 1/2
hours, until the rhubarb  is very soft.  Remove from the oven, cool
slightly, then spoon into a wide glass  serving bowl or individual
bowls.  Cut open the mangoes and cut the flesh off the stone, then skin
them  and slice into thin strips. Mix the mango strips with the rhubarb
without breaking it up too much, then chill.  Before serving, decorate
with mint leaves and ensure that the star  anise are visible near the
top.  Converted by MC_Buster.  Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
