I have officially packed my winter clothes away. Brian and I had a bread salad with dinner on Sunday night. I am nursing blisters on my feet from wearing shoes without socks for the first time in months. Spring is in the air– and that means rhubarb!
I picked up my first few stalks of the season last week, and they were lovely– so astringent, beautifully pink, with just the right amount of pucker. I made a bit of compote with them. No, not the compote that is dowdy, and full of dried fruit. This compote was bright and cheery, scented with vanilla with just a kiss of sugar. I ate it as a topping for Greek yogurt during the week, and then had it as a scrumptious embellishment for buttermilk pancakes on the weekend.
The recipe is over on iVillage. Happy Spring!

How pretty! My dad used to love rhubarb pie, but I have never tried it. Maybe this is the time to give it a try.

Adrienne, I have been making this recipe for two weeks now…one of my neighbors has a rhubarb patch and i bought 3 pounds from him (he is 86 years old, but determined to cut it for me–I held my breath). Anyway, we have enjoyed this so much! My mom never made rhubarb when we were kids because she hates it, so I had no idea what to do with it. I was delighted with your recipe–so simple and delicious. Thanks!
