Scoops of pink sorbet finish the meal on a light and healthy note. Fresh, clean rhubarb flavor comes from poaching the sweet-tart fruit in a simple syrup. When selecting fresh rhubarb, look for thin, crisp red stalks, which give the best flavor.

1 pound fresh or frozen cut-up rhubarb

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Add rhubarb. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until rhubarb is tender. Remove pan from heat and let cool for 20 minutes.
