Rhubarb Vanilla Compote

A sweet-tart blend of fresh rhubarb simmered with sugar and a touch of vanilla, perfect for topping yogurt, pancakes, or desserts.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups chopped rhubarb
  • 1/3 cups sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1–2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Combine the rhubarb, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb softens and starts to break down (about 8–10 minutes)
  • Cool slightly. Serve warm or chilled.

Notes

  • Add a little more water if you want a thinner compote.
  • Delicious over yogurt, waffles, pancakes, oatmeal, or just by the spoonful!
