Rum And Rhubarb Compote Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in heavy large saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rhubarb is tender, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes. Transfer rhubarb mixture to bowl. Cover and chill until cold, about 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)

Steps:

• In an 8-cup microwaveable dish, combine rhubarb, sugar, 2 tbsp of the rum and orange rind.
• Cover and microwave on high for 5 to 6 minutes, stir gently once, cook until rhubarb is tender.
• Stir in remaining rum.
• Let cool (mixture will thicken).
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Cut 3 rhubarb stalks into 1/4-inch pieces. Transfer to a small baking dish and toss with 1/2 cup sugar and a pinch of salt. Roast at 350 degrees F until soft, about 25 minutes. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Serve over ice cream or pound cake.

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:

• 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.
