Watermelon Comes Late

We have watermelon this summer but sorry it comes late. Autum season is here now.
Lesson learned: we must plant watermelon earlier next summer.

Rabarbra

From Stockholm with love.Thanks Petter for the rabarbra.

Her er en veldig enkel oppskrift på rabarbrakompott som kan brukes som dessert, på grøt, yoghurt eller is. Den er rask å lage og fremhever den syrlige og gode smaken av rabarbra.

Enkel Rabarbrakompott

Ingredienser:

  • 500 g rabarbra
  • 1 dl vann
  • 100-150 g sukker (juster etter smak)
  • 1 kanelstang (valgfritt)

Fremgangsmåte:

  1. Skyll rabarbraen og kutt den i 2-3 cm store biter. Du trenger ikke å skrelle den med mindre skallet er veldig grovt.
  2. Ha rabarbrabitene i en kasserolle sammen med vann, sukker og eventuelt en kanelstang.
  3. Kok opp og la det småkoke i 5-10 minutter, eller til rabarbraen er mør og har falt litt fra hverandre. Rør av og til.
  4. Fjern kanelstangen og la kompotten avkjøles.

Server kompotten lunken eller kald, gjerne med litt fløte, vaniljesaus eller vaniljeis. Den kan oppbevares i kjøleskapet i et par dager.
