Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 orange
2 cups (8 ounces) fresh (or frozen, thawed) cranberries
1 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Finely grate zest from orange and set aside. Using a sharp paring knife, cut off peel and white pith from orange. Working over a small bowl, cut between membranes to release segments into bowl.
  • Combine zest, cranberries, syrup, juice, and vanilla in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until cranberries have burst and sauce has thickened, 5-10 minutes. Chill until cold.
  • Gently stir orange segments into compote. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Return to room temperature before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right berries: Fresh, ripe raspberries are essential for a great compote. Look for berries that are plump and brightly colored, with no signs of bruising or mold.
  • Use a variety of citrus fruits: The combination of orange, lemon, and lime adds a complex and refreshing flavor to the compote. You can adjust the ratio of each fruit to suit your taste.
  • Don't overcook the compote: The berries should be softened but still hold their shape. Overcooking will make the compote mushy.
  • Chill the compote before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the compote to thicken slightly.
  • Serve the compote with a variety of dishes: It can be used as a topping for pancakes, yogurt, or ice cream, or as a filling for pies and tarts.

Conclusion:

Raspberry citrus compote is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many ways. With its bright flavor and beautiful color, it's sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert or topping, give this compote a try. You won't be disappointed!
