Ingredients
- 1½ pounds rhubarb, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
- ¾ cup light brown or white sugar (preferably organic)
- Grated zest and juice of 1 orange
- One 2-inch piece of vanilla bean, split lengthwise
- 3 cloves
- Pure maple syrup
- Ice cream, for serving
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°. In a bowl, toss the rhubarb with the sugar, orange zest and juice and transfer to a baking dish that is large enough to hold the rhubarb in 1 or 2 layers. Bury the vanilla bean and cloves in the rhubarb.
- Bake until the rhubarb is tender when pierced with a knife, about 30 minutes. Remove and let cool; if the rhubarb is too tart, add maple syrup to taste. Serve with ice cream.
