Ingredients
Orange Cranberry Compote
- 1 cup navel orange segments about 2-3, peeled and quartered
- 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¼ cup cranberry sauce
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons orange juice freshly squeezed
- ½ lemon juiced
- pinch of kosher salt
Orange Cranberry Compote Crostini
- 1 baguette toasted and sliced (12 oz.)
- Orange Cranberry Compote recipe above
- ¼ cup feta cheese crumbles for sprinkling
Instructions
Make the Orange Cranberry Compote
- Add the orange segments, 3 tablespoons of sugar, cranberry sauce, orange zest, orange juice and lemon juice to a medium saucepan. Season with a pinch of kosher salt, and give it a stir.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, allowing to cook for 10-15 minutes.
- Taste the compote as it thickens and add additional sugar, if necessary. (Do this to your taste, obviously. If you like a sweeter compote, add 1-2 more tablespoons of sugar here until it tastes ideal. We're starting with 3 tablespoons so it's more tart, and you can doctor it as needed.)
- Let bubble until the orange breaks down completely, about 20 minutes.
- Transfer to a mason jar, and let cool to room temperature.
- Store in the refrigerator until time to serve.
Cup of Yum
Make the Crostini

Notes
- This recipe makes about 6 oz. of compote.
- How to store: Store in an airtight food storage container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Serve cold or at room temperature.
