This elegant rhubarb compote offers a sophisticated twist on a seasonal favourite. By caramelising the sugar before adding the fruit, you create a complex depth of flavour that perfectly balances the natural sharpness of the rhubarb. Using white wine vinegar adds a bright acidity, making this a refined, low-sugar option for those who prefer their preserves with a more savoury, tangy edge.
While rhubarb is often reserved for crumbles and cakes, this versatile compote bridges the gap between sweet and savoury. Serve it alongside a rich mackerel fillet or roasted pork to cut through the fat, or spoon it over thick Greek yoghurt for a healthy breakfast. It is a simple yet effective way to celebrate the vibrant colour and unique zing of homemade British rhubarb.

Ingredients for Rhubarb Compote
70g sugar
400g chopped rhubarb
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
How to make Rhubarb Compote
Cook sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, undisturbed, until mostly melted, 6–8 minutes. Stir edges into the centre with a heatproof spatula; cook, swirling pan occasionally, until caramel turns dark amber, about 2 minutes. Stir in rhubarb and 45ml vinegar. Partially cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb is very soft, 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl; let cool. Stir in remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar; season with salt and pepper.
