Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup dried mission figs, chopped
1 (12 ounce) package cranberries
1/2 grapefruit, peeled and chopped
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup port wine
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ginger, ground
1/8 teaspoon allspice, ground

Steps:

  • In a saucepan over medium heat combine all ingredients and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until mixture is thick. Cool completely.
  • Can be covered and refrigerated for up to 5 days.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: For the best flavor, use fresh cranberries and figs. If using frozen fruit, thaw it completely before using.
  • Choose ripe fruit: The riper the fruit, the sweeter the compote will be. Look for cranberries that are deep red and figs that are soft and slightly wrinkled.
  • Use a variety of spices: The spices in this recipe can be adjusted to taste. For a more traditional flavor, use cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. For a more unique flavor, try adding cardamom, ginger, or star anise.
  • Don't overcook the compote: The compote is done when the fruit is soft but still holds its shape. Overcooking the compote will make it mushy.
  • Let the compote cool completely: The compote will thicken as it cools. Let it cool completely before serving or storing.

Conclusion:

Cranberry-fig compote is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many ways. It can be served as a condiment with grilled meats or poultry, or as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal, or ice cream. It can also be used as a filling for pies, tarts, and other desserts.
