Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs rhubarb chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 0.5 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Combine the chopped rhubarb, sugar, and orange zest in a medium saucepan.

Cooking

  • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb softens and breaks down, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let cool. The compote will thicken as it cools.

Serving

  • Serve warm or chilled over yogurt, ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.

Notes

For a smoother compote, you can mash the rhubarb gently with a spoon while cooking. Adjust sugar to your taste, depending on the tartness of the rhubarb and your preference.
