How to Make Fresh Cranberry Compote
- Combine 12 ounces fresh cranberries, zest of 1 orange and 1 lemon, juice of 1 orange and 1/2 lemon, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 8 minutes, or until cranberries begin to pop.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/2 cup cold water until smooth.
- Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering cranberry mixture.
- Continue to stir constantly until the compote thickens to your desired consistency, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely before serving. The compote will thicken further as it cools.
