RHUBARB-COMPOTE RECIPES
What is Rhubarb-Compote? More specifically, what is a compote? It is simply a stewed fruit. The level of sugar added depends only upon your sweet-tooth. I think this topping will definately need some sugar! Compotes compliment any variety of desserts you may be serving such as ice-cream, a cake perhaps, and even yogurt. It is not only made with sugar and lemon either. Other things such as vanilla or orange or other flavors can be added as well to enhance the taste. This sauce is used for main-course meat dishes. Compotes are frequently used with pork and beef as a sweet taste to combat a stronger taste from the meat. If you like, this sauce stands by itself also served simply in a bowl with nothing else added. You can refrigerate this compote for 4 or 5 days too.
