There’s cranberry sauce — and there’s cranberry compote. Too often an afterthought for roast dinners, this compote might take a little extra effort (and a couple special ingredients) but the result will keep you from every buying the canned stuff again.
Instructions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, dissolve the sugar in the orange juice.
Step 2
Stir in the cranberries and spices.
Step 3
Simmer until the cranberries start to break down (about 10 minutes).
Step 4
Remove whole spices carefully and discard. Remove sauce from heat and place in a bowl to serve.
