Compote:
Make compote: In a large saucepan, combine all compote ingredients except blueberries and bring to a boil over moderate-high heat. Lower heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until rhubarb is tender. Transfer to a bowl and, with a slotted spoon, remove vanilla bean. Fold in blueberries and stir to combine well. Allow compote to rest until it comes to room temperature.
