Rhubarb compote

Cut the rhubarb stalks in 1 cm pieces for a compote, or leave them longer to prepare the rhubarb for processing in desserts.


Ingredients

1000 gr rhubarb
125 gr creme de cassis
250 gr red wine
100 gr sugar
1 vanillapod
cardemom pods

Method

To make compote:

Cut the rhubarb in 1 cm pieces, scrape the vanilla pod and bring all the ingredients to the boil. Let simmer until the consistency is as you wish. You could use some starch to bind it earlier.

To prepare for future use:

Preheat the oven to 120 degrees celcius.

Leave the rhubarb stalks intact, put them into a shallow pan.

Scrape the vanilla pod and combine all ingredients in a pan and heat to dissolve the sugar.

Pour over the rhubarb, cover in silver foil and cook in oven for 20 minutes. Let cool and refrigerate.
