Ingredients
- 2 cups rhubarb
- 2 cups strawberries
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups orange juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the rhubarb, then chop it into ½-inch pieces.
Step 2
Hull the strawberries and slice them in half or quarters, depending on their size.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, and orange juice. Stir well to coat the fruit in the sugar and juice.
Step 4
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Once the mixture begins to break down, reduce the heat to low and continue simmering for 10-15 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender and the strawberries are soft. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
Step 7
Allow the compote to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or cold as a topping for pancakes, yogurt, ice cream, or your favorite desserts.
Step 8
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
