Cran-Apple Compote
This twist on a vacation favourite tones down the punch of cranberries with the homey consolation of apples. I prefer to spherical out the flavors with only a tablespoon of maple syrup. In the event you desire to omit it, this cranberry sauce is sweetened simply with fruits! Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
Elements

- 2 tablespoons finely chopped dates
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 – 1 teaspoon orange zest (can substitute lemon)
- 1/8 teaspoon floor allspice or pinch floor cloves 1/2–1 teaspoon grated orange or lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup optionally available

In a pot, mix the apple, cranberries, orange juice, dates, salt, and allspice or cloves. Partially cowl the pot and produce the combination to a boil over medium-high warmth, then uncover, cut back the warmth to medium-low, and simmer for 12–quarter-hour, stirring often. Cut back the warmth to low if the sauce is sticking or effervescent too quickly. As soon as the cranberries have damaged down and the sauce has thickened, stir within the zest and take away from the warmth; the sauce will proceed to thicken because it cools. Style, and for those who’d like a contact of maple syrup, stir it in.
