How to Make Norwegian Rhubarb Compote

  1. Wash and chop the rhubarb into 1-inch pieces.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rhubarb, sugar, water, and lemon juice.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Can be enjoyed warm or chilled.
