Begin by washing the rhubarb stalks thoroughly under cold water. Trim off any leaves as they are toxic and discard them.
Cut the washed rhubarb stalks into 1/2-inch pieces and measure out 4 cups.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, and orange juice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently until the sugar begins to dissolve.
Once the mixture starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
When the rhubarb has softened and the mixture has thickened to your liking, remove the saucepan from heat.
Stir in vanilla extract, ground ginger, and salt. Mix everything until well combined.
Allow the compote to cool slightly before transferring it to a jar or container.
Let it cool completely at room temperature before sealing and storing in the refrigerator.
The rhubarb compote can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
