Directions
Put the rhubarb, strawberries, water, orange juice, honey, star anise, and a pinch of salt into a small pot. Heat everything over medium until it just starts to boil. Once it’s boiling, lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it gently simmer for about 5 minutes. Then take the lid off and keep simmering until the fruit softens and breaks down a bit, which should take another 5 minutes or so. Turn off the heat and let the compote cool completely in the pot. When it's cool, fish out the star anise and spoon the compote into jars. Store it in the fridge and try to enjoy it within a few days.
Serving Tips
Serve warm over yogurt or ice cream for a simple dessert. It also pairs nicely with pancakes or toast for breakfast. You can enjoy it chilled as a refreshing snack too.
Food Storage Tips
Store the compote in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep fresh for up to five days. Reheat gently on the stove or enjoy cold straight from the fridge.
