Fruit sauces and compotes couldn't be simpler. Cook fruit with sugar and you're done. If you start buying plain yogurt and cream cheese, you can easily use up leftover fruit by making a sauce and stirring it in yourself. We have two giant rhubarb plants in the garden, so this recipe gets intense use during spring and summer.
