Easy Rhubarb Compote Food

RHUBARB COMPOTE

Steps:

• Place rhubarb pieces into a medium pot and sprinkle with sugar. Stir well to make sure rhubarb is completely covered with sugar. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes, stirring once, so natural juices will be released.
• Bring rhubarb mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Turn down heat and simmer until soft, about 10 minutes. Serve compote warm.

• Place ginger in a fine-mesh sieve set over a small bowl. Press down firmly with a spoon until juices are released (to yield about 1 teaspoon). Discard solids. Stir ginger juice into rhubarb mixture.

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place all the ingredients in a medium-sized pot over low heat, starting with the lesser amount of sugar. Stir constantly until all of the sugar is dissolved.
• Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the rhubarb pieces fall apart. When the compote is about as thick as applesauce, turn off the heat.
• Taste, and add additional sugar if you desire more sweetness. Keep in mind, though, that the sour flavor is part of what is special about rhubarb. If you do add additional sugar, return the heat to low, and stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
• Fill clean canning jars with the rhubarb compote, leaving half an inch of headspace. Tap the bottom of each jar gently but firmly on the palm of your hand to settle the compote and release any air bubbles. Screw on lids. If you don't want to water bath can the compote, you can simply store compote in jars or any other airtight container, refrigerated for up to two weeks. Or, in the freezer, for up to six months.

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.

BALSAMIC RHUBARB COMPOTE

Steps:

• Place chopped rhubarb in a medium-sized saucepan. Add sugar, balsamic vinegar, and salt; stir to coat rhubarb evenly. Let sit for 10 minutes until rhubarb has released its juices.
• Bring rhubarb mixture to a light boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb is soft and mixture has thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Mixture will further thicken upon cooling. Place in a jar or storage container and refrigerate for up to a week.

EASY RHUBARB COMPOTE

Steps:

• Chop the rhubarb stalks into small pieces (see photo).
• In a large heavy based pot, add the chopped rhubarb stalks along with all the other ingredients, and cook over a medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb is completely softened and has broken down with some small pieces still intact (but soft)- approximately 20-25 minutes. Once it starts to thicken, keep an eye on it so it doesn't catch on the bottom of the pot. Reduce the heat to low and taste. Add more sugar if required (1-3 more tablespoons) as each batch is slightly different depending on the rhubarb. Cook a few more minutes until compote has thickened and there are only very small pieces left and most of the rhubarb is stewed.
• Remove from the heat and discard the lemon and vanilla pod (if using). Allow compote to cool to room temperature before putting into sterilised jars or clean containers and placing in the fridge. Makes approximately 4 cups.
