Making the rhubarb compote – 15 minutes

Rinse the rhubarb and remove both ends. Chop the rhubarb into pieces and add them along with the sugar and water to the medium-sized pan.

Split the vanilla pod and add the pod and seeds to the pan. Let the rhubarb cook for a few minutes on medium heat.

You'll notice the rhubarb will fall apart after a few minutes. Let the compote cook a few minutes more until most of the moisture has evaporated. The water added was only to prevent the rhubarb from burning at the beginning.

Stir the compote with a wooden spoon, if needed season with some more sugar if the rhubarb turned out too sour. Remove the vanilla pod and serve this lovely compote added to a bowl of yogurt or as part of a dessert. Enjoy!
