Rhubarb & strawberry jam

Strawberry season is thriving and rhubarb one has not been finished yet. Putting them together into one jar makes perfect couple. I can strongly recommend fresh rhubarb jam and this one closed in the jar. Then in the winter it will remind us of summer.  Perfect for breakfest with bread or pancakes.

Rhubarb compote/ Stewed rhubarb drink

It's rhubarb time!  Rhubarb compote served by my beloved grandma- my childhood's memory. It's very refreshing, perfect for hot days and its flavor depends on small details, which can be different at each home.  Taste of the compote is forced with pepper mint, vanilla, apple and cloves.  Everyone can choose his own favourite flavor. For compote preparation pick intensive pink stalks, which give back their color to water while cooking. If you have more greenish rhubarb, add slice of fresh beetroot to make it more pink.
