Rhubarb Compote

For something that’s so easy to make, compote is a saviour to have ready in the fridge. It’s perfect for livening up a bowl of ice-cream to create a dessert, or spooned over natural yoghurt for a breakfast treat.

Being April, rhubarb is everywhere at the minute, and you’d want to make the most of it because it won’t be around for too long! This is a perfect, adaptable way of cooking it 

 There are a few great ways to use Rhubarb Compote once you’ve made it. Stir it through some natural yoghurt and top with granola for a breakfast treat, use it to top a custard tart, or just enjoy a big spoonful of it on its own (I do this more often than I’d care to admit… right out of the pot!).

When it’s ready in 20 minutes, it really becomes the perfect easy dessert, and makes use of such a wonderful ingredient. The lovely tart flavour of the rhubarb is still all here in this compote, complimented by the citrus of the orange juice and sweetness of the sugar – a perfect combination!
