Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Rhubarb stalks
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Dark rum
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly. Trim off both ends and cut the rhubarb into 1-inch pieces.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves and the ingredients are well combined.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb has broken down and the compote has thickened slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the dark rum and vanilla extract. Mix well to distribute the flavors evenly.
Let the compote cool slightly before transferring it to a sterilized jar or airtight container for storage.
Serve warm or chilled as a topping for pancakes, ice cream, yogurt, or enjoy it on its own.
