This Cranberry-Orange Compote is the perfect lil’ goodie to whip up during the holiday season! It’s fabulous on a number of things like: ice cream, cheesecake, biscuits, pancakes, cheese and crackers and much more.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Fresh or Frozen Organic Cranberries
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1 Cinnamon Stick
  • 1 Navel Orange, freshly squeezed juice (equals about 1/4 cup)
  • 1/2 Navel Orange, zested
  • Himalayan Pink Salt, just a pinch 

Instructions

  1. Make the sugar syrup: To a large saucepan, stir in the water and sugar until fully dissolved; bring to a boil.
  2. Boil: Reduce the heat to low, and boil for 10-15 minutes, or until the sugar syrup turns a pale amber color and starts to slightly thicken.
  3. Cranberries: Gently add the cranberries. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries start to pop.
  4. Add the aromatics: Stir in the orange juice, zest, salt and cinnamon stick. Cook another 10 minutes or until the sauce has nicely thickened.
  5. Let cool: Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
  6. Discard: Discard the cinnamon stick and transfer the mixture to a food processor. 
  7. Purée the mixture: Purée on high until the compote is completely smooth. Or leave a little chunky, if you’re wanting a textured compote. 
  8. Refrigerate: Cool and set aside until ready to use, or refrigerate in an airtight container. Makes 1 cup
