Steps:

• In a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat, bring 1/2 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and 1 1/2 pounds fresh (or thawed frozen) rhubarb, sliced into 1-inch-thick pieces, to a simmer. Cook until the rhubarb is tender and starting to fall apart, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat.

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.

ROSY RHUBARB COMPOTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/ gas 4/fan 160C. Halve the rhubarb lengthways then cut into 5cm lengths. Put the fruit into a small roasting tin just large enough to hold it in a single layer (any larger and too much of the liquid will evaporate during cooking).
• Add the remaining ingredients and cover with foil. Cook in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the rhubarb is just tender.
• Lift the rhubarb from the cooking liquid with a slotted spoon and put it into a serving dish. Put the roasting tin with the cooking liquid back on the hob and bring to the boil. Bubble for about 5 minutes to reduce it slightly, then remove from the heat.
• Taste the rhubarb liquid - it should be tart without being sour - and stir in a little extra sugar if necessary, then pour it over the rhubarb. You can serve it warm or chill overnight and serve cold.

RHUBARB COMPOTE

Steps:

• Stir together rhubarb and sugar in a large saucepan (off heat); let stand until rhubarb releases some liquid, about 10 minutes.
• Bring rhubarb mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb has broken down but some whole pieces remain, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• 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.
• Let sauce cool completely before serving over ice cream, yogurt, or pound cake, or using to make parfaits.

RHUBARB COMPOTE

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.

STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB COMPOTE

Steps:

• Combine chopped strawberries and rhubarb in a saucepan. Add sugar and salt; stir to coat evenly. Let sit until fruit has released its juices, about 10 minutes.
• Bring fruit mixture to a light boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until fruit is soft and mixture has thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, about 30 minutes. Mixture will further thicken upon cooling. Place in a jar or storage container and refrigerate for up to a week.

GINGERED RHUBARB-STRAWBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Trim rhubarb, removing any peel that comes off easily. Cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Combine with sugar and orange rind and bring slowly to a boil, covered, in a non-aluminum saucepan. Simmer gently for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile wash and stem strawberries and if they are large, halve them lengthwise. Add to rhubarb with the ginger and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, until berries are soft but hold their shape.
• Cool and, if there is time, chill.
