Also known as: Compote de rhubarbe, préemballée
Fresh rhubarb gently simmered with sugar and water into a bright, sweet-tart compote.
About rhubarb compote
Rhubarb compote is a simple cooked fruit-style preserve that keeps the stalks' tart character at the centre. This profile follows a classic three-ingredient version of fresh rhubarb, sugar and water.
The flavour is cleanly sweet-tart, with sugar rounding rhubarb's sharp acidity without adding spice or other fruit.
The compote is glossy pink-red and spoonable, with tender pieces of rhubarb held in a light syrup.
