- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and chop them into 1/2-inch pieces.
Step 2
If using fresh cherries, wash them, remove the stems, and pit them. If using frozen cherries, ensure they are thawed and drained.

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, pitted cherries, granulated sugar, and water.
Step 4
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently to dissolve the sugar.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb has softened and broken down and the cherries are tender.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract.
Step 7
Allow the compote to cool slightly before transferring it to a clean jar or container.
Step 8
Serve warm, chilled, or at room temperature as a topping for desserts, breakfast dishes, or even savory pairings like pork or chicken.
