Strawberry Rhubarb Custard

One of the things I most like about being a member of a CSA program (besides enjoying organic, locally grown produce) is the challenge of using fruits and vegetables that I wouldn't normally purchase.  Rhubarb is one of those items I don't purchase, but suddenly I was faced with a fresh supply that I needed to use up quickly.  Also included in this week's CSA delivery were ripe strawberries.  Strawberries and rhubarb are a classic pairing - here's what I did with them.

Pour the custard over the fruit.
