Gingered Rhubarb Strawberry Compote Food

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB COMPOTE RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them in half, or in quarters if they are large.
• Chop the rhubarb stalks . In the end, you're looking for 2 cups each of chopped strawberries and rhubarb.
• In a medium pot, combine the strawberries and rhubarb over low heat. Add 3/4 cup sugar. Stir constantly until all of the sugar is dissolved.
• Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the rhubarb pieces start to 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 a light hand with the sugar, though; too much sweetness will bludgeon rhubarb's distinctive flavor. If you do add additional sugar, turn the heat back on to low and stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
• Fill clean canning jars with the strawberry-rhubarb compote, leaving half an inch of headspace. It is not necessary to sterilize the jars for this recipe.
• Tap the bottom of each jar gently but firmly on the palm of your hand to settle the compote and release any air bubbles, or run a clean spatula or chopstick around the interior periphery of the jar to release any trapped air.
• Screw on canning lids. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. (Adjust the time if you are canning at high altitude .)
