Equipment

  • medium saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups rhubarb cut into 1-inch pieces
  • cup sugar Domino granulated sugar recommended
  • ¾ cup orange juice freshly squeezed for better acidity
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions
 

  • Wash the rhubarb and cut it into 1-inch pieces, discarding any leaves. Measure out the sugar, orange juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and ground ginger into separate small bowls or cups.
  • Add the rhubarb pieces and sugar to a medium saucepan, then pour in the orange juice. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the vanilla, cinnamon, and ground ginger. Cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove the compote from heat and let it cool slightly. Serve warm or refrigerate and serve cold.

Notes

The compote will thicken slightly as it cools due to the natural pectin in the rhubarb.
