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

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the cranberries under cold water and set aside.

Step 2

Slice the dried figs into quarters, removing any tough stems.

Step 3

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.

Step 5

Mix in the honey, ground cinnamon, orange zest, and a pinch of salt.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 8

Let the compote cool to room temperature. The compote will continue to thicken as it cools.

Step 9

Serve immediately, or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
