Strawberry Rhubarb Compote

Tonight I made a strawberry rhubarb compote for dessert. I'd never eaten compote before, but it really is great. I think next time I'll make sure we have something to serve this with as it really is a bit too flavourful to be served on its own. I saw some great ideas to serve this with yogurt or even have some on your morning oatmeal for breakfast, so I might just splurge and have fruit compote on my oatmeal in the morning! Yum!

So, in case you are interested here is the recipe I used:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Farenheit

Ingredients
1 part strawberries
2 parts rhubarb (cut in 1 cm pieces)
sugar or honey to taste

Sprinkle some sugar or honey overtop of the rhubarb. Cook the rhubarb in a covered pan for 25 minutes (no stirring required) or until softened. Then stir in the strawberries (larger strawberries should be halved) and cook for another 30 minutes or until it is all softened up and fully cooked.
