elderflower & rhubarb compote - good with vanilla ice cream or on freshly baked croissants 
A quick and easy rhubarb and elderflower compote recipe. This seasonal Summer recipe is ready in less than 30 minutes and great served over a good vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt for a simple dessert. I have also added it to my homemade frozen yogurt - recipe to follow soon... It makes a low sugar alternative to jam too and would be lovely with a freshly baked croissant or brioche for breakfast. 

I love using local and seasonal produce in my cooking and recipes. The elderflower cordial was made with our own elderflowers which are in full blossom at the moment. You can of course use a shop-bought elderflower cordial in this recipe - or make your own using my easy to follow recipe here (leaving out the fresh mint). I also used a local Limousin honey in my recipe too - which was made just down the road from us here. I have heard that eating a teaspoon of local honey a day helps those who suffer from hayfever - I do and am more than willing to give this a go if it relieves the sneezing and sore eyes!


The fragrant elderflower complements the sharp and flowery rhubarb flavour well. Rose flower water or rose syrup is another good partner to rhubarb which you could use in this recipe instead of the elderflower cordial.
