Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound pearl onions (preferably red; 2 cups)
2 cups apple juice
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
6 cloves
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
2 quinces, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 (12-ounce) bag fresh or frozen cranberries (not thawed if frozen)

Steps:

  • Trim root end of each onion and cut an X in it. Blanch in boiling water 1 minute, then drain in a colander. Cool slightly, then peel.
  • Bring juice, sugar, vinegar, and spices to a boil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Add onions and quinces and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender but not falling apart, about 30 minutes.
  • Add cranberries and simmer until tender but not falling apart, 5 to 8 minutes. Discard cloves. Transfer fruit and onions to a bowl using a slotted spoon, then boil syrup, if necessary, until reduced to 1/2 cup. Pour syrup over compote and cool to room temperature.

I've never had quince before, but I really enjoyed it in this compote. It added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the cranberries.
