Accompany this compote with cookies. It is also delicious mixed with plain yogurt
This compote is delicious with all kinds of rhubarb but if you can get red rhubarb it will have even more flavor.
To vary you can prepare a “fool” (English dessert) by mixing it with whipped cream just before serving it in dessert bowls.
