Rhubarb Fool with Strawberries

Fool is a traditional English dessert.  Originally, you folded cooked fruit into a custard, but modern recipes like this use whipped cream instead.

Rhubarb Fool with Strawberries

3 cups (18 oz.) Rhubarb -- sliced
1/3 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Orange juice
1 dash Salt
1 cup Heavy whipping cream
1 tbsp. Sugar
2 cups Strawberries -- quartered 

In a small saucepan, bring rhubarb, 1/3 cup sugar, orange juice, and salt. Cover and simmer 6-8 minutes or until rhubarb is tender. Cool slightly. Process rhubarb in a blender until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until cold. Just before serving, whip 1 tbsp. sugar with whipping cream until soft peaks form. Lightly fold in rhubarb and strawberries.
