Easy Strawberry Rhubarb Compote Recipe
If you’ve never heard of a compote before, please don’t be intimidated. The texture of compote is saucier than jam, but thicker than syrup–perfect for drizzling, dolloping, and stirring into all your favorite desserts.
In this version, we pair tangy rhubarb with the sweetness of strawberries to make a summery compote with complex flavors. In a small sauce pan, stir together the rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, orange peel, and water.
Step 2: Cook down. If desired, use a berry smasher to break up any larger chunks of fruit. This make ahead-friendly recipe is perfect paired with ice cream, pound cake, pancakes, yogurt, and more.
