Compote of Rhubarb.

Make a syrup of six heaping tablespoonfuls of sugar in about half a cupful of water which has been flavored by simmering In it for 20 minutes the thinly pared rind of an orange or lemon. Prepare and cut the rhubarb Into two-inch lengths, put a layer of these into the syrup and cook gently (in a double pan is the best way) until quite clear, but still unbroken; then remove carefully and stew another layer. When cold serve with pustard or cream.
