Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams rhubarb stalks
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly under cold water. Trim off both ends and discard any leaves, as they are toxic.
Cut the rhubarb into small pieces, approximately 2 cm in length.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rhubarb pieces, granulated sugar, and water. Stir gently to mix.
Place the saucepan on medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the rhubarb has softened and started to break down. Stir occasionally for even cooking.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
Allow the compote to cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or cold.
Serve the compote on its own, over yogurt, or as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.
