Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound fresh cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange zest

  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

    Expat in the Netherlands

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I made this dish for my annual Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family, here in the Netherlands. It was a nice recipe,... and every seemed to like it. It went well with the turkey. The only changes I made were of personal preferrence. It was a bit tart for our taste, so I upped the sugar amount. I also think next time I would not add as much water, making the compote a bit on the thicker side. I would recommend this recipe to all.Read more

    Pretty Good

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    I used a lot less of the orange zest than called for, and I still found the orange to be overpowering. I may make this again... & leave out the orange zest, perhaps adding a little more lemon zest.Read more

    Made this for Thanksgiving. Very easy to make. A nice substitute for the canned cranberries. Tasted good with the turkey... leftovers as well. Will perhaps make again.Read more

    Great recipe

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I made this dish just a few minutes before leaving for our family dinner. Loved the fact that it went together so quickly. ... It was a little more tart than I expected it to be. My daughter-in-law brought cranberry bread and we discovered that the compote was a wonderful topping for the bread. Also, the next day it seemed less tart. Made a dish of leftover heated turkey and cranberry compote. Yum! Will definitely make this receipe again. (I did leave the orange and lemon zest, however.)Read more
