Ingredients

3 cups chopped rhubarb
0.5 cup white sugar, or more to taste
2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
0.5 cup apple juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon water, or more as needed
3 cups halved fresh strawberries

Instructions

Combine rhubarb, sugar, and vanilla sugar in a large pot; let it sit for 30 minutes to macerate.
Add apple juice to the rhubarb mixture and gently bring to a boil over low heat. Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water until smooth. Stir this mixture into the rhubarb. Return to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool completely.
Gently stir in the fresh strawberries just before serving to maintain their texture.
