Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds rhubarb stalks trimmed and cut into ½-inch pieces
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 4 allspice berries (dried allspice) ground into a fine powder (See Note)
  • ⅓ - ½ cup water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the rhubarb pieces into a medium bowl and stir in the sugar.  Let the rhubarb macerate for 1 hour so that it releases its juices.
  2. Pour the rhubarb pieces and juices into a medium pot.  Stir the ground allspice and ⅓ cup water into the rhubarb.  
  3. Set the mixture over medium to medium-high heat.  Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the rhubarb is soft. If the mixture is too thick, you may need to add an additional tablespoon or two of water.  Scoop the compote into a serving dish.

Notes

  • Note: Grind the allspice in a mortar and pestle. Or place it in a heavy duty ziplock bag and crush it with the flat side of a meat mallet.
