Strawberry Rhubarb Compote for Mother’s Day #SundaySupper for Mother’s Day!! I was thinking of my mom and how much I miss her when thinking of this Mother’s Day.
She would make me stewed rhubarb when I was little and I so enjoyed it. Also, I remember pulling out a bright red stalk and sitting with a little bowl of sugar and enjoying the sweet-tart treat!!
Aaah, the memories of childhood.
Springtime Treat!
I have made this for Amber before but she was younger. When I made it this time she adored it and has eaten almost all of it with a big helping of yogurt. In addition, this would make a great Mother’s Day brunch item too!!
So pretty on the table in little cups and is a perfect springtime treat plus it is easily made ahead. Mom would love the nostalgia of this compote and it can be easily jarred for a take-home gift.
This one is for you Mom, I miss you and wish you a Happy Mother’s Day!!

It was quite different with my mom. She is not a fan of rhubarb. I can’t remember ever having it when I was growing up. I really didn’t know what it tasted like until I was older. Now I’m discovering it more and I think the combo of it and strawberries in the compote is wonderful.
Katie says
What a gorgeous compote! I know we’re talking about Mother’s Day here, but this would be perfect for my dad – strawberry rhubarb is his absolute favorite combo!

That looks luscious! That rhubarb would be great on pancakes or waffles, too! Or just on a spoon and straight into my mouth. 🙂
Great recipe for #SundaySupper!
