Recipe: Cranberry-Orange Compote

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes

This classic, jewel-colored fruit sauce is the perfect companion for turkey meat. Low in calories, cranberries are also a good source of vitamin C. If you like a sweeter compote, add a little more sugar substitute.

Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup granular sugar substitute (less if using something such as liquid stevia, or another more concentrated product)

Directions:
Place cranberries, zest, cinnamon, and water in a medium saucepan a over medium heat; stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until berries have popped and compote has thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sugar substitute to taste. Serve at room temperature.
