Once the mixture starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

When the rhubarb has softened and the mixture has thickened to your liking, remove the saucepan from heat.

Stir in vanilla extract, ground ginger, and salt. Mix everything until well combined.

Allow the compote to cool slightly before transferring it to a jar or container.

Step 9

Let it cool completely at room temperature before sealing and storing in the refrigerator.
