How to Make Strawberry Rhubarb Compote

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the zest of 1 orange, and 1/4 cup orange juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 lb rhubarb, cut into 1-inch pieces.
  3. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb is tender, about 15 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 pint (2 cups) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until strawberries are softened but still hold their shape.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
