RHUBARB COMPOTE
Because it's very tart, rhubarb is always cooked with sugar (or other sweetener). It is often combined with red fruits, such as strawberries or raspberries, to enhance the color and complement the flavor.

Steps:
- In a saucepan, combine rhubarb with sugar over low heat. When the rhubarb starts to soften, but before it falls apart, about 5 minutes, use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a bowl.
- Cook down the remaining liquid in the pan until it thickens and turns syrupy, about 5 minutes longer. (This condenses and intensifies the rhubarb flavor.) Add the syrup to the bowl with the rhubarb and let cool. Compote will keep for at least a week in the fridge.

RHUBARB COMPOTE
A compote is a simple fruit sauce that usually serves as one element of a multilayered dessert. It's used to top cakes or scoops of ice cream or as an accompaniment to mildly flavored cookies such as shortbread. Rhubarb requires a higher proportion of sugar than most fruits, since it is naturally sour; here it is also flavored with citrus zests. If you want to use other fruits, such as stone fruits or pears, adjust the amount of sugar depending on their sweetness.

Steps:
- Prepare rhubarb Wash rhubarb well and dry thoroughly with paper towels (wipe each stalk to remove any grit). Cut crosswise on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces (you should have about 5 cups).
- Make poaching syrup Bring sugar, water, zests, and salt to a boil in a large straight-sided skillet, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add rhubarb, and stir to coat in sugar syrup. (There won't be enough syrup to cover, but the compote will become more liquidy once the fruit starts to release its juices.) Cover and cook over medium-low heat until rhubarb is just tender, about 5 minutes. (Do not overcook; you want most of the rhubarb pieces to hold their shape.)
- Cool Remove from heat and let cool completely, about 1 hour, before using. Compote can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 week.

ROASTED RHUBARB-AND-SOUR-CHERRY COMPOTE
This intensely sweet-tart condiment is as versatile as it is vivacious. Sour cherries pack a punch, and keep their color when roasted with rhubarb and a splash of orange juice. Use it as a topper on a bowl of morning yogurt, as a sweet-tart mixer to your evening cocktail, and everything in between.

BALSAMIC RHUBARB COMPOTE
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!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/ gas 4/fan 160C. Halve the rhubarb lengthways then cut into 5cm lengths. Put the fruit into a small roasting tin just large enough to hold it in a single layer (any larger and too much of the liquid will evaporate during cooking).
- Add the remaining ingredients and cover with foil. Cook in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the rhubarb is just tender.
- Lift the rhubarb from the cooking liquid with a slotted spoon and put it into a serving dish. Put the roasting tin with the cooking liquid back on the hob and bring to the boil. Bubble for about 5 minutes to reduce it slightly, then remove from the heat.
- Taste the rhubarb liquid - it should be tart without being sour - and stir in a little extra sugar if necessary, then pour it over the rhubarb. You can serve it warm or chill overnight and serve cold.

Tips:
- Choose the right rhubarb: Look for firm, deep-red stalks with minimal blemishes. Avoid stalks that are limp or have brown spots.
- Prepare the rhubarb properly: Trim the ends of the rhubarb stalks and remove any leaves. Cut the stalks into small pieces, about 1/2-inch thick.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to prevent the rhubarb from scorching and sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Don't overcook the rhubarb: The rhubarb should be cooked until it is tender but still holds its shape. Overcooked rhubarb will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Add sugar to taste: The amount of sugar you add to the rhubarb compote will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Use spices and flavorings: You can add a variety of spices and flavorings to the rhubarb compote, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, or vanilla. Be creative and experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
- Serve the rhubarb compote warm or cold: Rhubarb compote can be served warm or cold. It is delicious on its own, or you can use it as a topping for pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or ice cream.
Conclusion:
Rhubarb compote is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. Whether you serve it warm or cold, on its own or as a topping, rhubarb compote is sure to be a hit. So next time you have some rhubarb on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
