Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams rhubarb stalks
- 300 grams fresh strawberries
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Wash the rhubarb stalks and trim off any leaves. Cut the rhubarb into 1/2-inch pieces.
Hull the strawberries and cut them into halves or quarters if they are large.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rhubarb, strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruits break down and the compote thickens slightly.
Taste the compote and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if needed. Stir well to dissolve any additional sugar.
Remove the compote from heat and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes. The compote will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the compote to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate. Serve warm or chilled as desired.
