  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, sugar, water, and vanilla extract.

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for about a week or freeze for up to three months. Let cool before sealing. For a smoother texture, blend the compote; for a chunkier style, lightly mash it with a fork. Adjust sweetness to taste.
