Fresh Cranberry Compote

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound fresh cranberries
• 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
• 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups water
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions

Put the cranberries, orange and lemon zest, orange and lemon juice, sugar, vanilla, and 1 1/2 cups of the water in a medium-size nonreactive saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 8 minutes.

Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining 1/2 cup of water and add to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium, then stir constantly until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.

Remove from the heat and cool completely.
