rhubarb compote in Streusel Kuchen

Joe found this on Taste of Home.   We were looking for a tart fruit (or vegetable) to use instead of plums in Streusel Kuchen.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 2-1/4 cups sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

• 1. In a small saucepan, bring sugar and water to a boil. Add rhubarb; cook and stir for 5-10 minutes or until rhubarb is tender and mixture is slightly thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in lemon peel and nutmeg.
