Rhubarb-Strawberry Compote

Rhubarb and strawberries are a classic combination. Only the rhubarb is cooked, the strawberries are mixed in raw. I like to serve this compote with chocolate ice cream or over waffles.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 3 cups chopped rhubarb

  • ½ cup white sugar, or more to taste

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar

  • ½ cup apple juice

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • 1 teaspoon water, or more as needed

  • 3 cups halved fresh strawberries

Directions

  1. Combine rhubarb, sugar, and vanilla sugar in a pot and marinate for 30 minutes. Stir in apple juice and bring to a boil over low heat. Simmer until rhubarb is soft, 4 to 5 minutes.

  2. Stir cornstarch with a little bit of water and stir into the rhubarb. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Cool completely. Stir in strawberries before serving.

Cook's Note:

You can use vanilla extract instead of vanilla sugar. Stir in about 1/2 teaspoon after the cornstarch, when the rhubarb compote is off the heat.
