Notes: Rhubarb Compote or rabarbragrot as we sometimes called it in Norway, is one of our family's favorite fruit desserts, which I learned to make from my mom.
my great grandmother grew up on a farm in Norway, where she had all kinds of berries and fruit growing in her garden. Grandma made the best fruit and berry compotes as well as jams, jellies and juices.
She usually serves the fruit/berry dessert in an attractive bowl along with a glass pitcher filled with heavy whipping cream (not whipped) that we pour over the dessert. Within reach is a pretty sugar bowl for those who like it extra sweet.
We enjoy the rabarbragrot warm, but it is delicious chilled, as well.
