ROASTED RHUBARB-AND-SOUR-CHERRY COMPOTE



Roasted Rhubarb-and-Sour-Cherry Compote image

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.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 260 g

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe rhubarb and blackberries. If you can't find fresh berries, frozen berries will also work.
  • If you don't have a lemon on hand, you can substitute another citrus fruit, such as an orange or grapefruit.
  • If you like a sweeter compote, add more sugar. You can also add a splash of honey or maple syrup.
  • Be careful not to overcook the compote. It should be thick and syrupy, but not too thick.
  • Serve the compote warm or cold. It's delicious on pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Summer rhubarb and blackberry compote is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed in many ways.
