Preparation

1. Put the rhubarb, sugar, ginger syrup, orange rind and juice in a heavy saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb has become soft but still holds its shape (about 7 to 10 minutes).
2. If the mixture is very liquid, put it in a sieve and drain some of the juice into a small saucepan. Bring the juice to a boil and reduce it by half. Return it to the rhubarb and mix it in.
3. Chill the rhubarb. When it is cold, stir in the yogurt and the whipped cream. Pour the mixture into six individual glasses or a glass serving bowl. Top with the slices of preserved ginger.

• This is good with sugar cookies or macaroons.
