A simple and absolutely delicious way to enjoy rhubarb. It's great as a complement for custard, yoghurt, bread pudding, toast - anything.
I've also added frozen raspberries to the rhubarb when poaching, which adds a wonderful red color. You then can dispense with the red current jelly though you do have to cook down the strained liquid a little more to get the right syrupy consistency.
Obsessed with this delicious compote. I doubled the recipe but substituted strawberries for half the rhubarb. Used cherry jam because it was on-hand. Added a teaspoon of cinnamon. Perfect over ice cream or with cake.
