Reduce the heat to low, and let it continue to simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rhubarb is soft and the dates are fully broken down, stirring occasionally.

Once the mixture reaches a thick compote consistency, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Allow the compote to cool slightly before serving.
