Whole Cranberry Sauce with Blackberries and Lime
This compote is so easy to make it leaves you more time for doing other things.
Ingredients
- 1 bag (12 ounces) fresh cranberries
- 1 package (6 ounces) fresh blackberries
- 1 lime zested
- 1 lime juiced
- 1/4 teaspoon peeled and grated ginger root
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- To a medium size pan add water, lime juice, ginger root, and sugar. Stir. Heat the pan on medium heat.
- When the water comes to a boil, add the cranberries and stir. Cook until the cranberries begin to pop (about 5 minutes). If the liquid in the pan is boiling too rapidly (and rising), turn down the heat to low.
- Turn off the heat and move the pan to an unused burner on the stove, or on a heat resistant surface or hot pad.
- Add the blackberries. Gently stir together. Top with lime zest and serve warm or chilled.
Notes
TIPS:
- When cooking the cranberries, if the liquid in the pan is boiling too rapidly (and rising), turn down the heat to low.
- As the cranberry sauce cools, it should thicken a bit.
