Sweet & Savory Cranberry Compote

Ingredients:
• 1 bag (12 oz.) of fresh cranberries
• ½ tablespoon of cornstarch
• ½ cup of fresh squeezed orange juice
• 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
• ¼ cup of honey
• 1 teaspoon of finely chopped fresh Rosemary

Directions:

  1. Add cranberries to skillet on medium-low heat (they will pop throughout the cooking process).
  2. Add cornstarch and orange juice to small bowl, stir until paste forms (this is called a slurry).
  3. Add slurry to skillet and stir, then add apple cider vinegar.
  4. Add honey and rosemary to pan, simmer on medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring throughout. Allow mixture to thicken.
  5. Remove from heat, cool slightly, add to food, and enjoy!

Handy Hint: If you want to make the compote sweeter, add 1 teaspoon of Stevia or 1 tablespoon of maple syrup after the honey and rosemary have been cooking for 10-15 minutes. To up the flavor profile, you can also add any spices you'd like, too.
