Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1.5 cups seedless red or green grapes, halved
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups orange juice
- 1 teaspoons orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 cups water
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries and grapes under cold water. Halve the grapes if they are not pre-cut.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, halved grapes, granulated sugar, orange juice, orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently to combine the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
As the cranberries cook, they will burst, releasing their juices and thickening the compote. Use the back of a spoon to mash some of the fruit if desired.
Taste the compote and adjust the sugar if necessary, adding a little more for extra sweetness.
Once the compote reaches your preferred thickness and flavor, remove it from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Transfer the compote to a jar or airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
Serve warm or chilled over pancakes, waffles, yogurt, roasted turkey, or glazed ham.
