Description

Strawberries and rhubarb are a wonderful combination. Try this easy compote with vanilla ice cream or just serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Ingredients

2 cups rhubarb, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
2 cups strawberries, hulled and quartered
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons honey, or more to taste
1 star anise pod
1 pinch salt

Directions

1 Combine rhubarb, strawberries, water, orange juice, honey, star anise pod, and salt in a small pot and bring to a slow boil over medium heat. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
2 Remove the lid and simmer until fruit is soft, about 5 more minutes. Turn off heat and allow to cool completely. Remove star anise and place compote into jars. Use within a few days and keep refrigerated.
