gingered rhubarb with vanilla ice cream

Makes use of a microwave.

1 1/4 pounds rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 3/4” pieces (about 3 cups.)
1 T fresh orange juice
1 T minced peeled fresh gingerroot
1/3 cup sugar, or to taste
1 T unsalted butter
vanilla ice cream as an accompaniment
fresh mint sprigs for garnish

In a microwave-safe 2 quart dish combine the rhubarb, orange juice, gingerroot, sugar and the butter, cover
the dish with microwavable-safe plastic wrap, leaving one corner uncovered, and microwave the mixture at
high power (100%) for 5 minutes. Stir the mixture and microwave it, covered partially, for 2 minutes, or until
the rhubarb is tender. Let the mixture cool slightly, serve it with the ice cream, and garnish it with the mint.
Can also be served as a compote.
