Ingredients
- 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
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the cranberries thoroughly under cool water and set aside.
Step 2
Peel, core, and dice the apple into small cubes for even cooking.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, water, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium-high heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.
Step 4
Add the cranberries, diced apple, grated ginger, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 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.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the compote cool for 10 minutes.
Step 8
Transfer the compote to a serving dish or an airtight container for storage.
Step 9
Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
