Ingredients

1 bunch (400g) rhubarb
zest and juice of 2 oranges
¼ cup white wine (optional) or water
2 star anise
1 cinnamon stick
¼ cup sugar (white sugar or any syrup or honey works)

This braised rhubarb gives you three options. Firstly, the pink juice which can be used in jellies, drinks and dressings. The second is the braised rhubarb pieces, which can be used in salads or desserts or on top of yoghurt (or, if you’re a girl after my own heart, full fat cream). And finally, it can all be blended and used as a compote in caramels, cakes, stews, curries, and a variety of treats.
