Ingredients

  • 4 cups (1 1/2 lb) chopped rhubarb, cut into 1/2 inch slices
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 8-10 minutes.
  • Serve warm or cold. This will keep for 4-5 days in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Vanilla: For a more intense vanilla flavor use 1/2 a vanilla bean in the recipe.
  • Choosing Rhubarb: Thin, red stalks of rhubarb have a sweeter and more delicate flavor and are worth seeking out. However, I enjoy the compote with thick stalks as well.
