  2. Cover the dish and microwave on high for 5-6 minutes. Gently stir, then continue microwaving in 2-minute intervals, stirring after each, until the rhubarb is tender but not mushy (about 8-10 minutes total).
  3. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of rum (or orange juice).
  4. Let the compote cool completely to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
