🥘 Ingredients

8 items

• 2 cups fresh cranberries
• 1 large apple (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 0.5 cup orange juice
• 0.5 cup water
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch pinch of salt

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Rinse the cranberries thoroughly under cool water and set aside.

2. Peel, core, and dice the apple into small cubes for even cooking.

3. In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, water, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium-high heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.

4. Add the cranberries, diced apple, grated ginger, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan.

5. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

6. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the apples are tender. The mixture should thicken slightly into a compote-like consistency.

7. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the compote cool for 10 minutes.

8. Transfer the compote to a serving dish or an airtight container for storage.

9. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
