Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Method
 

  1. Wash your rhubarb stalks thoroughly and slice them into half-inch pieces. Hull the strawberries and cut them into quarters.
  2. Place the chopped rhubarb, sliced strawberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt into your saucepan.
  3. Set the burner to medium heat. Stir the mixture occasionally until it begins to bubble, then reduce the heat to low.
  4. Let the compote simmer gently for about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the pure vanilla extract.
  6. Allow the compote to cool at room temperature before transferring it into a clean glass jar.

Notes

Remember to discard rhubarb leaves as they are toxic. Compost fruit trimmings to maintain a zero-waste kitchen. Adjust sweetness based on fruit ripeness.
