Rinse the strawberries, raspberries, and rhubarb thoroughly. Hull the strawberries and chop them into quarters.
Trim the rhubarb ends and chop it into 1-inch pieces.
Peel, core, and dice the pink apple into small chunks.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the strawberries, raspberries, rhubarb, apple, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 3-4 minutes, until the fruit breaks down and the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the compote to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving, or let it cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
