Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup dry red wine or water
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1 cinnamon stick
1 20-ounce bag frozen unsweetened rhubarb
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 20-ounce bag frozen unsweetened strawberries
Vanilla ice cream or frozen vanilla yogurt
Whipped cream
Chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Combine 1/2 cup sugar and red wine in heavy medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean and cinnamon stick. Simmer 10 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 cup sugar and stir to dissolve. Add rhubarb and ground cloves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until rhubarb is tender, about 8 minutes. Add strawberries and bring to simmer. Cool. Cover and refrigerate until cold. (Compote can be prepared 3 days ahead.)
  • Remove vanilla bean and cinnamon stick from compote. Scoop ice cream into sundae dishes or bowls. Spoon compote over. Top each with whipped cream. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts and serve sundaes immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh rhubarb. If you don't have fresh rhubarb, you can use frozen rhubarb, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • To make the rhubarb compote, you can use any type of sweetener that you like. Sugar, honey, maple syrup, and agave nectar are all good options.
  • If you don't have any vanilla ice cream, you can use another type of ice cream, such as chocolate or strawberry.
  • For a fun and festive presentation, serve the sundaes in individual glass jars or bowls. You can also top them with whipped cream, sprinkles, or chopped nuts.

These fast rhubarb sundaes are a delicious and easy way to enjoy fresh rhubarb. They're perfect for a summer dessert or snack, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you have some rhubarb on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try.
