Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
- 6 oz dried figs
- 1 cup orange juice
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp orange zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries under cold water and set aside.
Slice the dried figs into quarters, removing any tough stems.
In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, water, and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Add the cranberries and figs to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Mix in the honey, ground cinnamon, orange zest, and a pinch of salt.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the compote cool to room temperature. The compote will continue to thicken as it cools.
Serve immediately, or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
