CRANBERRY AND STRAWBERRY COMPOTE



Cranberry and Strawberry Compote image

I wanted something different than plain cranberry sauce or cranberries with oranges to accompany meat dishes for my holiday table. I happened to have frozen strawberries and a couple of apples and a bag of cranberries on hand and the rest as they say is history. I brought the first batch to my friends' house for dinner, and they loved it...even the children.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh cranberries: Look for cranberries that are plump and firm, with a deep red color. Avoid any cranberries that are soft, bruised, or have mold.
  • Rinse the cranberries thoroughly: Before using the cranberries, rinse them under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a variety of sugars: This recipe calls for a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar. The granulated sugar adds sweetness, while the brown sugar adds a rich molasses flavor. You can also experiment with other types of sugars, such as honey or maple syrup.
  • Add some spices: Spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, can add a warm and festive flavor to the compote. You can also add a splash of orange juice or lemon juice for a citrusy twist.
  • Cook the compote until it reaches your desired consistency: The cooking time will vary depending on how thick you want the compote to be. If you want a thick compote, cook it for longer. If you want a thinner compote, cook it for a shorter amount of time.

Conclusion:

Fresh cranberry compote is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It can be served as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or yogurt. It can also be used as a filling for pies, tarts, and muffins. And it can even be used as a glaze for roasted meats or poultry. No matter how you choose to use it, fresh cranberry compote is sure to add a touch of sweetness and flavor to your meal.
