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
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the cranberries and grapes under cold water. Halve the grapes if they are not pre-cut.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, halved grapes, granulated sugar, orange juice, orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently to combine the ingredients.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Taste the compote and adjust the sugar if necessary, adding a little more for extra sweetness.
Step 7
Once the compote reaches your preferred thickness and flavor, remove it from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 8
Transfer the compote to a jar or airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
Step 9
Serve warm or chilled over pancakes, waffles, yogurt, roasted turkey, or glazed ham.
