How to Make Stewed Rhubarb With Pineapple

  1. Chop 4 cups rhubarb into 1-inch pieces and 2 cups of fresh pineapple into ½-inch chunks.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb and pineapple.
  3. Add ¼ cup granulated sugar (or to taste, depending on the sweetness of your fruit – you may need less or none!).
  4. Gently stir to combine the fruit and sugar.
  5. Let the mixture sit for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the fruits to release their juices.
  6. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
  7. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender and the sugar has dissolved. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  8. Remove from heat and let cool completely. The compote will thicken as it cools.
  9. Serve over your favorite yogurt, ice cream, oatmeal, toast (with cream cheese!), or enjoy it plain. A dollop of whipped cream is also a delicious addition!
