Glazed Strawberry Rhubarb Tart
Rhubarb cooked in a double boiler stays more intact than when it's stewed, plus it looks pretty beside the fresh strawberries.

-
1/2 cup (125 mL) granulated sugar
2 tbsp (25 mL) water
2 cups (500 mL) chopped fresh rhubarb
3 cups (750 mL) halved strawberries
4 tsp (20 mL) cornstarch
Crust:
1 cup (250 mL) graham wafer crumbs
1/2 cup (125 mL) finely chopped almonds
1/3 cup (75 mL) butter, melted
Filling:
4 oz (125 g) cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp (25 mL) whipping cream
1 tbsp (15 mL) granulated sugar
Preparation:
In top of double boiler, bring sugar and water to boil over direct heat. Place over saucepan of gently boiling water. Add rhubarb; cover and poach, without stirring, just until tender and shape still holds, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, without stirring.
Crust: Meanwhile, in bowl, toss together graham crumbs, almonds and butter until moistened. Press onto bottom and up side of 9-inch (23 cm) round tart pan with removable bottom. Bake in centre of 350°F (180°C) oven until crust is firm to the touch, about 12 minutes. Let cool on rack.
Filling: In bowl, beat together cream cheese, whipping cream and sugar until spreadable, about 3 minutes. Spread in tart shell and halfway up side. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, place strawberries in large bowl; with slotted spoon, add rhubarb. Set aside.
In small saucepan, bring liquid from rhubarb to boil. Whisk cornstarch with 1 tbsp (15 mL) cold water; whisk into liquid and boil until thickened, about 1 minute. Let cool at room temperature for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add to fruit; stir very gently to coat. Spoon over filling. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.)
