How to Make Cranberry Orange Compote

  1. Combine 8 ounces (1 cup) fresh cranberries, 1 whole orange (seeded and peeled), and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a food processor.
  2. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Press the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds or pulp, collecting the smooth compote in a bowl.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the compote to chill. This step is optional if you're short on time.
  5. Serve chilled and enjoy!
