How to Make Cranberry Apple Ginger Compote

  1. Combine cranberries, apples, ginger, orange zest, orange juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon stick in a large saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the apples are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove the cinnamon stick.
  5. If desired, use an immersion blender to partially purée the compote for a smoother texture. Alternatively, you can leave it chunky.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. You can add a little more brown sugar or maple syrup to your liking.
  7. Let the compote cool completely before serving. Enjoy it warm or cold, as a topping or on its own!
