Ingredients
- 500 grams Rhubarb stalks
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Dark rum
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly. Trim off both ends and cut the rhubarb into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and water.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves and the ingredients are well combined.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb has broken down and the compote has thickened slightly.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the dark rum and vanilla extract. Mix well to distribute the flavors evenly.
Step 6
Let the compote cool slightly before transferring it to a sterilized jar or airtight container for storage.
Step 7
Serve warm or chilled as a topping for pancakes, ice cream, yogurt, or enjoy it on its own.
