Cranberry Orange Compote Recipe

Ingredients

• 12 ounces fresh cranberries (about 3 cups) — the star ingredient providing natural tartness and vivid color
• 1 cup granulated sugar — to sweeten and balance the cranberries’ tang
• 1 large orange , zested and juiced — for a bright citrus note and aromatic depth
• 1/2 cup water — to help cook the fruit evenly
• 1 tablespoon orange liqueur (optional) — adds complexity and enhances orange flavor
