Norwegian Rhubarb Compote Recipes

Steps:

• Cut rhubarb into 1/2 inch pieces.
• Heat water and ¾ cup sugar to boiling, stirring occasionally.
• Add fruit. Simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, until rhubarb is tender.
• Thickening:.
• Mix ¼ cup water and cornstarch; stir into rhubarb.
• Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute and stir over medium heat. Note: Rhubarb will burn if not stirred! Stir in vanilla extract.
• To serve:.
• If using glass serving bowls, be sure to temper with warm water first, otherwise the glass will crack.
• Pour into serving bowl or individual dessert bowls.
• When ready to serve, beat whipping cream with 2 tablespoons sugar in chilled bowl until stiff.
• Pipe cream through decorators' tube or spoon onto rhubarb compote.

Steps:

• Place rhubarb pieces into a medium pot and sprinkle with sugar. Stir well to make sure rhubarb is completely covered with sugar. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes, stirring once, so natural juices will be released.
• Bring rhubarb mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Turn down heat and simmer until soft, about 10 minutes. Serve compote warm.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine rhubarb with sugar over low heat. When the rhubarb starts to soften, but before it falls apart, about 5 minutes, use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a bowl.
• Cook down the remaining liquid in the pan until it thickens and turns syrupy, about 5 minutes longer. (This condenses and intensifies the rhubarb flavor.) Add the syrup to the bowl with the rhubarb and let cool. Compote will keep for at least a week in the fridge.

Steps:

• Combine the rhubarb, sugar, honey, butter and cinnamon in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and pierce once or twice to allow steam to escape. Microwave until the rhubarb is tender, about 6 minutes. Carefully remove the plastic wrap and stir.
• Meanwhile, break the shredded wheat into smaller pieces in a bowl. Dust with confectioners' sugar and cinnamon.
• Spoon the rhubarb compote into bowls, top with ice cream and sprinkle with the shredded wheat.

Steps:

• Stir together rhubarb and sugar in a large saucepan (off heat); let stand until rhubarb releases some liquid, about 10 minutes.
• Bring rhubarb mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb has broken down but some whole pieces remain, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Place ginger in a fine-mesh sieve set over a small bowl. Press down firmly with a spoon until juices are released (to yield about 1 teaspoon). Discard solids. Stir ginger juice into rhubarb mixture.
• Let sauce cool completely before serving over ice cream, yogurt, or pound cake, or using to make parfaits.
