RHUBARB, COMPOTE OF (another way) (Small forced rhubarb)

The small forced rhubarb (Mitchell's Royal Albert) is by far the best for this dish. Cut about half a pound of it into pieces half an inch in length, which put into a stewpan with a quarter of a pound of powdered sugar and a wine-glassful of water; set it over a sharp fire, occasionally shaking the stewpan round, and when quite tender pour the contents into a basin until cold, when it is ready for serving; should the syrup be too thin, add sufficient isinglass to set it, and when cold dress it pyramidically upon the dish.
