1/2 pound small (1-inch-wide) shallots or pearl onions (preferably red), left unpeeled
1 tablespoon unsalted butter or vegetable oil
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup white-wine vinegar

Yield Makes enough for 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 1/2 pound Concord grapes, stems removed
1 cup apple cider
1 cup dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Place grapes and cider in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Cook until grapes have released most of their juices, about 20 minutes. Strain grapes through a fine mesh sieve into a small saucepan; discard solids.
  • Add cranberries to saucepan and heat over low heat until cranberries start to soften, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl, cover, and refrigerate until chilled.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, plump cranberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • Rinse the cranberries thoroughly before using to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the compote from scorching.
  • Stir the compote frequently while it is cooking to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Add sugar to taste. The amount of sugar you add will depend on your personal preference.
  • Let the compote cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
  • Store the compote in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
