Instructions
Prepare the rhubarb
Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and chop them into 1 cm pieces.
Pro tip: Remove any fibrous strings from the outer layer of the rhubarb for a smoother compote.
Combine ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Pro tip: Adjust the sugar to taste depending on the tartness of your rhubarb.
Cook the compote
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Pro tip: Stir occasionally to prevent the sugar from burning.
Simmer until tender
Continue to cook the compote for 10-15 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender and the mixture has thickened.
Pro tip: Use a wooden spoon to gently mash the rhubarb pieces as they soften.
Check consistency
The compote should be thick but still pourable. If it's too thick, add a little water to loosen it.
Pro tip: Taste the compote and adjust the sweetness if necessary.
Cool and store
Remove the compote from heat and let it cool. Transfer to a jar or container and refrigerate.
Pro tip: The compote will thicken further as it cools.

- Choose fresh, firm rhubarb stalks for the best flavour.
