Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

20 ounces frozen or fresh cranberries (about 4 1/2 cups)
10 ounces frozen dark sweet cherries (about 2 cups)
1 1/4 cups (packed) brown sugar
1/2 cup apple cider
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup bourbon

Steps:

  • Bring cranberries, cherries, brown sugar, cider, and pepper to a boil over high heat in a medium saucepan. Cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, then stir in bourbon. Reduce heat, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring often and pushing fruit against the side of the pan with the back of a wooden spoon to break apart slightly, until thick and syrupy, about 25 minutes more. Let cool completely.
  • Do Ahead
  • Sauce can be made 5 days ahead; cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.

I'm allergic to cherries. Can I substitute another fruit, like blueberries or raspberries?

This recipe is missing some important steps. It doesn't say when to add the cornstarch or how long to simmer the compote.

I followed the recipe exactly and the compote turned out runny. I had to add more cornstarch to thicken it.

This compote is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
