Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings (about 3 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 9

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
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup dried sour cherries (5 ounces)
2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries (8 ounces; not thawed if frozen)
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Blanch shallots in a 3-quart saucepan of boiling water 1 minute, then drain. Peel shallots and separate into cloves if necessary.
  • Cook shallots in butter in 3-quart saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, 1 minute. Add sugar and 1 tablespoon vinegar and cook, stirring frequently, until sugar mixture turns a golden caramel, 15 to 20 minutes. Carefully add remaining vinegar, wine, and salt and boil, stirring, 1 minute (use caution, as mixture will bubble up). Add cherries and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until shallots are tender and liquid is syrupy, about 45 minutes.
  • Add cranberries and water and gently boil over moderate heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cranberries have burst, about 10 minutes. Transfer compote to a bowl and cool completely.

This compote is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not amazing either.

I followed the recipe exactly and my compote turned out runny. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This compote is a bit too tart for my taste, but I think it would be great on pancakes or waffles.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I really liked this compote. The shallots and dried cherries balance out the tartness of the cranberries.

This compote is a great way to use up leftover cranberries. I always have a bag of cranberries in the freezer and this is a great way to use them up.
