- 1/4 cup orange marmalade lemon, with shreds of lemon

- Cool until cold to the touch, but do not allow the gelatin to set.
- With an electric mixer, combine the cream and rhubarb mixture.
- Whip until fluffy and light.
- Do not overwhip or the cream will break down.
- Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
- Add the sugar and continue until stiff peaks have formed.
- Carefully fold the egg whites into the rhubarb and cream mixture.
- Turn the mousse into a clear glass, 6-cup, straight-sided souffle dish or into individual 1-cup souffle dishes and refrigerate for 2 hours or more.
- To make the Strawberry Gin Sauce, puree the strawberries and sugar together in a processor.
- Strain through a sieve and reserve.
- Warm the marmalade just to melt.
- Combine the marmalade, the gin, and the pureed strawberries, mixing well.
- Chill thoroughly.
- Serve each portion of mousse topped or surrounded with sauce; pass the sauce separately.
