10 Passover Desserts
Photo by: Sarah Shatz
Strawberry-Rhubarb Compote
3 cups rhubarb (4 large stalks), trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces 1 pound frozen or fresh strawberries
6 tablespoons raw (turbinado) sugar
Pinch salt
Peel from 1/2 large navel orange
3 tablespoons rosé wine
1. Combine all of the ingredients in a medium saucepan and add 1/4 cup water. Set over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Cook gently, uncovered, for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding more water if the mixture seems too dry. You want the fruit to cook through and soften without completely losing its texture.
2. Cool and serve over yogurt or ricotta, with ice cream, or on its own.

The world of Passover desserts can look grim. Dreary. Chalky. Cookies, hard as rocks; brownies, mouthfuls of starch. But dessert can still be good -- great, really -- without leavening (and without flour!). Here are 10 desserts that just happen to be Passover-friendly, and naturally gluten-free to boot -- just two of the many reasons to munch on them (or spoon them up) all week long.
