Food & Cooking Recipes Seasonal Recipes Spring Recipes Roasted Rhubarb-and-Sour-Cherry Compote Close Credit: Kate Sears Prep Time: 15 mins Total Time: 45 mins Yield: 2 Cups This intensely sweet-tart condiment is as versatile as it is vivacious. Sour cherries pack a punch, and keep their color when roasted with rhubarb and a splash of orange juice. Use it as a topper on a bowl of morning yogurt, as a sweet-tart mixer to your evening cocktail, and everything in between. Directions Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss rhubarb and cherries with orange zest and juice, sugar, salt, vinegar, and cardamom. Spread mixture in a single layer in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish or a 9-by-12 1/2-inch rimmed baking sheet (quarter sheet pan). Roast until softened and juicy, about 20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully transfer rhubarb and cherries to a shallow dish. Pour juices from baking dish into a small saucepan; boil until reduced and thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Pour over rhubarb. Serve warm or at room temperature, or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 week.
