Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams rhubarb stalks
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 60 milliliters orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 60 milliliters water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Wash and trim the rhubarb stalks, cutting them into 1-inch pieces.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rhubarb, granulated sugar, orange juice, orange zest, and water.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb breaks down into a soft, jam-like consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the compote to cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container.
Store the compote in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve it chilled or at room temperature as a topping for yogurt, pancakes, or dessert.
