Ingredients
- 500 grams rhubarb stalks
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 60 milliliters water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing the rhubarb stalks thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Trim off the ends and cut the rhubarb into approximately 1/2 inch pieces.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rhubarb pieces, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir to dissolve the sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Continue to cook the rhubarb on a simmering heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook until the rhubarb softens and starts to break down.
Step 5
Once the rhubarb has reached a mushy consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
Step 6
Allow the compote to cool down slightly. Then, transfer it to a clean jar or container.
Step 7
The compote can be served warm or cold. If stored in the refrigerator, it will keep for up to a week.
