| Comments: This Cranberry Compote is a perfect accompaniment for turkey for your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Also great anytime of the year with chicken or turkey, and it's also so very good on a chicken or turkey sandwich. |
Ingredients:  1 (12-ounce) bag fresh cranberries, rinsed and picked over Strips of zest from 1 orange (about 2 tablespoons) 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1 1/2 to 2 cups water 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Pinch salt 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons cornstarch 3/4 cup fresh orange juice |
| Instructions: 1. Put the cranberries in a medium-size nonreactive nonstick saucepan. Add the zest. Peel and seed the orange, discard the white pith, and coarsely chop. 2. Add the chopped orange to the pot of cranberries along with the sugar, water, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. 3. Dissolve the cornstarch in the orange juice. Add the mixture to the cranberries and stir to blend. Simmer another 20 minutes until the mixture is thick like syrup. 4. Cool completely, then serve with your turkey. It will keep for 3 days in the refrigerator. Makes 6 servings. |
