Rhubarb-Vanilla Compote

Rhubarb-Vanilla Compote (from Eating Well, Servings: 4, Total Time: 15 minutes)

Ingredients

·         4 cups diced rhubarb

·         ½ cup sugar

·         ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

·         ½ teaspoon vanilla

Directions

1.       Combine rhubarb, sugar and cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat; reduce heat to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook until the rhubarb begins to break down, about 5 minutes.

2.       Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

We received some rhubarb In a recent Community-Supported Agriculture delivery, so I found a quick and easy recipe to use it.  I found this and thought it would be tasty on some homemade bread.  I served it when my mom and stepdad came to visit.  He didn’t have any, but my mom liked it.  That was good, because neither my husband nor I did.  It definitely was not sweet enough – more sugar, vanilla, and/or cinnamon would all help it out.  I do not plan to make this again.
