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!!

I’ve made a rhubarb compote similar to this before, but I like your addition of orange to the mix. I will definitely be trying this once we can harvest our plants this year.
Noshing with the Nolands says
I think putting the citrus in just brings out more of the rhubarb strawberry flavor. We loved it!!
Nancy @ gottagetbaked says
Tara, your compote looks so pretty! I love the two contrasting layers and that gorgeous vibrant red. I love childhood memories like the ones you recounted in this post. Isn’t it amazing how a taste, smell, or feel can bring them back so vividly? Your compote is a wonderful way to remember your mom. I hope you had a fabulous Mother’s Day!
Noshing with the Nolands says
Thank you so much Nancy!!

One of my favorite fruit pairings. Looks like a great way to use it beyond the typical strawberry rhubarb pie.

Thanks Chris!!

I had never tasted rhubarb until I was in New York…a sweet-tart rhubarb compote was part of one of our desserts at our per se dessert tasting. We really liked it! Your compote is so pretty that I want to see if I can find some rhubarb and give it a try myself. Happy Mother’s Day, sweet Tara!
Noshing with the Nolands says
