Share:
Ingredients
- 2 cups (200g) fresh cranberries or thawed frozen cranberries
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons orange juice
- Zest of ½ an orange
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Wash the cranberries.
- Stir all the ingredients together in a medium saucepan over a medium heat and bring to the boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
- Allow to cool slightly and transfer to a bowl or jar and allow to cool.
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container and serve warm, cold or at room temperature.
Notes
- When cooking fruit and sugar, the mixture will become very hot and bubbly. Make sure you are protecting yourself as the mixture can cause serious burns.
- Let the mixture cool before adding it to containers to prevent the hot liquid from splashing and causing injury.
- Always use a sanitized jar or container when storing compote to prevent the spread of bacteria.
- Frozen cranberries need to be fully thawed before making homemade cranberry compote.
- Give this cranberry compote some natural spice by adding a tablespoon of grated ginger to the mix.
- Warming spices like clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg can be added to create a Fall layer of flavor.
- Add blackberries or raspberries to the mix to add more levels of fresh berry flavor.
- Instead of orange juice, use the zest and juice of one lemon to create an even more tart and fresh flavor.
