Elly in Canada's Note:

This quick and easy microwave recipe is great with frozen or plain yogurt, spooned over cottage cheese and even delicious on French toast. Use fruit juice in place of rum if desired. Source: Foodland Ontario

This is so yummy. I had green rhubarbs from my garden to use and I like rhubarb compote. It's so easy to do in the microwave. The sweetness is just perfect. I used the rum. Great taste. Thanks Elly in Canada :) Made for Bargain Basement tag game
