Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Balsamic Rhubarb Sauce.
Step 1
To create a delightful rhubarb compote, start by taking a medium-sized saucepan and adding in your chopped rhubarb, sugar, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Give it a good stir to make sure every piece of rhubarb is nicely coated in the sweet and tangy mixture.
Step 3
Let this sit for about 10 minutes; this resting time allows the rhubarb to release its natural juices, setting the stage for a deliciously rich compote.
Step 4
Next, place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Step 5
Once you see those lovely bubbles forming, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer.
Step 6
Stir occasionally as you watch the rhubarb soften and the mixture thicken, which should take around 20 minutes.
Step 7
When it reaches that perfect consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the compote cool down.
Step 8
Don’t worry if it seems a bit runny at first; it will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 9
Once it’s at room temperature, transfer your beautiful compote into a jar or storage container.
Step 10
You can keep it in the refrigerator for up to a week, ready to elevate your breakfasts, desserts, or even savory dishes.
Step 11
Enjoy the sweet and tangy burst of flavor that this homemade rhubarb compote brings to your table!.
