Notes
Storage
Fridge – Keep in an airtight pot in the fridge once cold. Store for up to five days. Enjoy chilled, at room temperature or warmed. Freezer – Prepare as for the fridge but ensure that your pot has a good seal. The syrup will not freeze solid, so if you haven't sealed it properly, it will leak. Your cranberry compote will stay delicious for at least three months.Hints and tips
- Use a lid when cooking your cranberries, especially if they are fresh. If they explode, you want them contained rather than all over the kitchen!
- Roll the orange under the heel of your hand on a board or kitchen counter before squeezing. This will help to ensure that you get all the juice.
- Don't be too heavy-handed with spices as they can be overpowering.
