Ingredients
 

  • 1 pint strawberries (sliced)
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped rhubarb
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 Tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Squeeze of lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/2 store bought angel food cake (cut in 5 slices)
  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • melted ice cream (if desired)

Instructions

  • Add strawberries, rhubarb, and sugar to a small sauce pan set over medium heat. Cook until rhubarb and strawberries begin to break down and soften, stirring often, about 5 minutes. In a small bowl whisk together cornstarch and water then add to berry mixture. Continue to cook until mixture is thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
  • Stir in vanilla, ginger, lemon juice, and salt and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. If desired, smash berries and rhubarb or puree in a blender for a completely smooth texture. I like to leave some chunks of strawberries, but feel free to do what you need to do! Keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Meanwhile, use a pastry brush to coat both sides of angel food slices with butter. Place on grill over prepared coals. Do not cover. Grill for about 1 minute on each side, or until slightly charred all the way around.
  • To serve, place slices of angel food cake on a plate. Top with warm strawberry rhubarb compote and a scoop of ice cream. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can easily double the compote recipe if you want to make enough sauce to use the whole angel food cake.
