  4.3 – 3 reviews  • Jams and Jellies Recipes

Excellent use for leftover flakes salmon that has been roasted or poached. can be used as a spread for crackers, a sandwich filling, a topping for salad greens, or even in a sandwich. A very delicious tartar sauce can be made from the dressing alone.

Great combination of rhubarb and blueberries! I used 2 cups of each, plus 1 cup of strawberries. Only used 3/4 cup sugar (serving over ice cream adds extra sweetness). Vanilla and cinnamon work well with this. Cooked for approx 15 minutes – the fruit breaks down fast.

Need to add a little less water. My family loved it! Made 2 Qts.

The flavour of this compote is outstanding but the recipe should indicate the number of cups, not stalks, of rhubarb. I made this exactly as written and 10 stalks yielded just under two cups, I think that there should be at least four cups. It didn’t thicken and was very sweet, not tart. I checked this at 15 minutes and the texture was perfect for us. This is a keeper and definitely something that i will make again, thanks for sharing.
