Strawberry Rhubarb Compote

In this recipe strawberries, rhubarb and honey are simmered over gentle heat to create a simple compote. The combination of strawberry and rhubarb makes a great pie filling but it’s also wonderful to eat for breakfast with Greek yoghurt or crepes, or for a main meal dessert with a little frozen yoghurt.

Because rhubarb is very tart it is usually cooked with sugar (or other sweetener.) It is often combined with red fruits, such as strawberries or raspberries, to enhance the colour and add to the flavour.

Ingredients

• 1 lb rhubarb, leaves removed and stalks washed
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp water

Method

1. Hull strawberries and cut into quarters.
2. Cut rhubarb in 2 inch slices.
