Enjoy the vibrant tang of homemade rhubarb compote, a versatile fruit preserve perfect for breakfast pastries, desserts, or as a savory accompaniment. Properly stored, this delightful compote retains its fresh flavor and beautiful color for extended periods.

Storage Time

Up to 1 week in the refrigerator once opened; up to 12 months if properly canned and stored in a cool, dark pantry.

Temperature

Store refrigerated at 0–4°C (32–40°F) after opening. Unopened canned compote should be stored in a cool, dark, and dry pantry.

Freezing

Rhubarb compote freezes exceptionally well, preserving its delightful tartness and texture. Allow the compote to cool completely, then transfer it into airtight freezer-safe containers or heavy-duty freezer bags, leaving a small headspace for expansion. For best quality, consume within 8-12 months. To thaw, place the frozen compote in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours. Some slight separation may occur upon thawing, which can be easily stirred back in.

Signs of Spoilage

Visible mold growth on the surface or edges.
An off, sour, or fermented smell.
