Cranberry Orange Compote

I made this for the first time this year and is my new favorite cranberry sauce. It adds mutliple layers of flavor and I love the hint of citrus.

Ingredients:
  • 1 (12oz) package fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon orange liqueur
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • zest of 1 orange
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup water

Stir together all ingredients in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, 5 to 7 minutes or until cranberry skins begin to split. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool 15 minutes. Remove and discard cinnamon stick. Store mixture in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 1 week.

  1. Ok, so this was pretty easy for me. Waiting for it to finish cooling. I think it turned out. It sure smells good.
