Rhubarb Compote

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.

How to make Rhubarb Compote

Cook sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, undisturbed, until mostly melted, 6–8 minutes.
