Directions

  1. Place chopped rhubarb in a medium-sized saucepan. Add sugar, balsamic vinegar, and salt, stir to coat rhubarb evenly. Let sit for 10 minutes until rhubarb has released its juices.

  2. Bring rhubarb mixture to a light boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb is soft and mixture has thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Mixture will further thicken upon cooling. Place in a jar or storage container and refrigerate for up to a week.

Recipe Note

What better way to use up that overabundance of rhubarb in your yard! This compote is equally as delicious on yogurt, ice cream, pancakes, or oats. I also like to serve it with grilled pork tenderloin. For savory dishes, I use a bit less sugar when making the compote. Try and find stalks that are smaller in size as they are less tough. Use a flavored balsamic vinegar for a nice flavor twist!
