Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 12 ounces fresh rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch pieces

  • 1/2 cup white sugar

Directions

  1. Place rhubarb pieces in a medium pot; sprinkle with sugar. Stir well to ensure rhubarb is completely coated with sugar; cover and let rest for 15 minutes, stirring once so natural juices are released.

  2. Bring rhubarb mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Reduce heat; simmer until soft, about 10 minutes. Serve compote warm.

Cook’s Note

Store leftover compote in the refrigerator.
