CRANBERRY GRAPE COMPOTE



Cranberry Grape Compote image

I found this on my sheroes site, Martha Stewart. I made it for my first Thanksgiving on my own, and my family loved it. Since then it has been my responsibility to make this instead of cranberry sauce. You can use fresh or frozen(do not need to thaw) cranberries but I prefer fresh.

Provided by Diva-N-Training

Categories     Sauces

Time 23m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (12 ounce) package cranberries
3 cups red seedless grapes
1 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan over medium-high, bring cranberries, grapes, sugar, and 1/2 cup water to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until most of the cranberries have popped and grapes are falling apart, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat; add salt and stir to combine. Let cool to room temperature (compote will thicken as it cools). Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 2 weeks. Serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use ripe Concord grapes. This will ensure that your compote is sweet and flavorful. If you can't find ripe Concord grapes, you can use a combination of red and black grapes.
  • Don't overcook the grapes. Overcooked grapes will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook the grapes just until they are softened and have released their juices.
  • Add some dried cranberries. Dried cranberries add a tart and chewy texture to the compote. They also help to balance out the sweetness of the grapes.
  • Use a variety of spices. Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves add a warm and inviting flavor to the compote. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or orange zest for a bit of brightness.
  • Serve the compote warm or cold. Compote can be served warm over ice cream or yogurt, or cold as a topping for pancakes or waffles. It can also be used as a filling for pies and tarts.

Conclusion:

Concord grape and dried cranberry compote is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a great way to use up ripe Concord grapes, and it is also a healthy and nutritious snack or dessert. So next time you have a bunch of Concord grapes on hand, be sure to give this compote a try. You won't be disappointed!
