Strawberry Rhubarb Compote (AIP/Paleo)

This strawberry rhubarb compote is a super simple summer recipe with only three ingredients and is the perfect combination of sweet and tart!

Whenever we were at my Grandparents’ for breakfast in the summer, a strawberry rhubarb compote was almost always on the table. This dish brings back many great memories for me.

When I was younger, I would often spend several weeks with my Grandparents during the summer months. And I have been especially reminiscing about that time, since we recently lost my Grandmother in May.

My Grandmother especially had a love for cooking and baking. And let me tell you, she was amazing at it. We definitely shared our love of recipes. I would often sit with her and look through cookbooks and food magazines – she had quite the collection.

Now, I have been enjoying looking through all the recipes she recorded and her extra notes about whether it was a winner or not!

Gosh, I miss her dearly.

But I feel grateful that I can make dishes like this one and instantly feel connected to her. <3 That’s one of the great things about food, it can trigger such great memories, feelings, and emotions. I truly love that!

What you need:

With only three ingredients and about 10-15 minutes, this strawberry rhubarb compotes is a breeze to make!

Rhubarb

I’m lucky to have a rhubarb plant in my backyard. They are super easy to grow so if you have the room, I highly recommend getting one. But if not, you can often find it at farmer’s markets, and when in season, at grocery stores.

Strawberries

This is a great recipe to make after going strawberry picking. However, you can use fresh or frozen strawberries. It will taste great either way!

Coconut Sugar

Now, I AIP-ified my Grandmother’s recipe but it basically was just replacing white sugar with coconut sugar and reducing it a bit.
