My Favorite Cranberry Orange Pecan Compote
Cranberry orange pecan compote homemade is super simple and quick to make.
Cooking cranberries is really quite quick and easy. Cooking is what you love to do if your flavor wheel house loves to expand. There is no right or wrong way to make a cranberry compote as far as flavor profiles. Occasionally I have read that people will add some jalapeño even for a change. The techniques will get you where you need to for the finished food but flavors? That is really up to your tastebuds.
