What to do with strawberries and rhubarb when you don't want to make more crumble or pie because it isn't exactly part of the 'being good' (most of the time) diet!? Well, you can go ahead and stew them at least. I hulled the strawberries and left them whole, trimmed and cut the rhubarb then put them in a pot with 2 tbsps of brown sugar and the juice of 1/4 lemon. Put it on a low heat, the lid on helped create some steam and then I removed the lid and let them very gently stew.
I kept a tub of the stewed fruit in the fridge and have eaten it on top of yoghurt and in smoothies. The smoothie took one banana, a few large spoons of strawberry/rhubarb compote, a few large spoons of strawberry yoghurt and some milk, maybe 1 cup depending on how thick you like your smoothie. We shared this between the 2 of us, though you could have it to yourself if you wanted or add another banana and more milk if it wasn't enough for 2. Tasty!
