Follow The Directions

01

Step

Combine the chopped rhubarb, sugar, frozen blueberries, vanilla extract, and cinnamon stick in a medium-sized saucepan. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Add enough water to the saucepan to barely cover the rhubarb and blueberry mixture. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb is soft and has broken down, about 30 to 40 minutes. (40 minutes)

04

Step

Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Allow the compote to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate until chilled and thickened, about 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

For a deeper flavor, consider adding a sliver of orange zest along with the other ingredients.
If you prefer a smoother compote, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the mixture after cooking.
Fresh blueberries can be substituted for frozen, but may require slightly less cooking time.
Compote can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

    I added a pinch of ginger to mine and it gave it a lovely warmth. Thanks for the great recipe!

  • Krista Schuster

    My rhubarb was a bit stringy, but the compote still tasted amazing. Next time I'll be sure to peel the rhubarb more thoroughly.

  • Burnice Kemmer

    I didn't have any vanilla extract, so I used almond extract instead. It was delicious!

  • Elinore Jacobi

    Great recipe! I made a big batch and froze some for later. It thawed beautifully.

  • Olaf Frami

    This recipe is fantastic! The compote turned out perfectly tart and sweet. I served it over pancakes and it was a huge hit.

  • Callie Beer

    I found it a little too tart for my taste, so I added a bit more sugar. It was perfect after that!

  • Tyrel Jacobi

    The color of this compote is just beautiful! I love how the blueberries bleed into the rhubarb.

  • Shannon Lesch

    So easy to make and incredibly delicious. I’ve been putting it on everything – yogurt, toast, even roasted chicken!
