Cranberry Orange Compote
The thought of canned cranberry sauce just blows my mind...but to each his own. That being said there is nothing like fresh cranberry orange compote. The sweetness of the orange and the tartness of the cranberries combined are an out of this world experience. There is aha moment when you first taste this sweet and spicy compote its like a jam married to a hot pepper. The combined spices of cayenne pepper with cinnamon give it this warmth yet deep and complex taste.
