Combining tart rhubarb and juicy strawberries, simmered gently with orange juice, powdered sugar, and fresh ginger, this compote offers a delightful balance of flavors with a fresh zing from the ginger.

Ingredients

Fruits

  • 1 lb rhubarb, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1.25 lb strawberries, hulled and halved

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp orange juice (such as Tropicana Pure Premium)
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar (Domino recommended for smooth dissolve)
  • 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Wash and trim the rhubarb, cutting it into 1-inch pieces. Hull and halve the strawberries to ensure a better texture in the compote.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the rhubarb, strawberries, orange juice, powdered sugar, and freshly grated ginger.
  3. Simmer the Mixture: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar fully and prevent sticking. Let it cook for about 20 to 25 minutes until the rhubarb is tender and the strawberries have broken down into a chunky sauce.
  4. Cool and Serve: Remove the compote from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Serve warm or chilled as a topping or spread according to your preference.

Notes

  • The powdered sugar helps dissolve smoothly creating a glossy finish to the compote.
  • Fresh ginger adds a subtle spicy note, which complements the tartness of the rhubarb.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor impact.
  • This compote can be stored in an airtight container refrigerated for up to one week.
  • Try adding a splash of vanilla extract or lemon zest for a variation in flavor.
