Ingredients
Instructions
- Put all the ingredients (except the honey) together in a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once the mixture boils, lower the heat and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries burst open and the compote thickens.
- Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Remove the cinnamon stick.
- Taste the compote – add honey (or sugar) if desired for extra sweetness.
- Serve or use in your dish.
Serving tips
- Serve hot or cold as a side dish with game dishes, such as duck breast or pork tenderloin.
- Use as a topping for desserts, such as cheesecake or panna cotta.
- Spread on toast or serve with a cheese board for a sweet-fresh touch.
Comments
- For an extra dimension of flavor add a dash of port.
- You can keep the cooled cranberry compote in an airtight container for up to a week in the refrigerator.
Variations
- Add a handful of raisins or dried cranberries while cooking for extra texture.
- Replace the orange with lemon for a fresher taste.
- Add a pinch of ground cloves or ginger for a warmer, spicy touch.
