Ingredients for 8 servings:

  • 200 g red currant jelly
  • 400 g cranberries
  • 1 shot of cassis

Instructions

Working time approx. 5 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

In autumn there are often fresh cranberries, fine with game and poultry or with pastries

Sort the fresh cranberries, wash them, and drain them. Heat the redcurrant jelly in a large saucepan. Add the cranberries. Stir and turn the berries continuously until about half of them have burst. This will take about 5 minutes, depending on the heat. Add a dash of blackcurrant and let the compote cool. The compote will thicken nicely. It goes well with a Christmas menu of duck, goose, or game. It also makes enough for about 4-6 servings with pastries or desserts like rice pudding. Any leftover compote can easily be frozen in portions.
