Ingredients

  • ½ cup water
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 12 ounce bag fresh cranberries rinsed
  • 3 cups red or black seedless grapes rinsed
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring water, sugar, cranberries, and grapes to boil.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until most of the cranberries have popped and the grapes are soft and turning translucent, about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
    I like to mash the grapes against the pot with the back of a wooden spoon so they get broken up. Leaving them whole works as well.
  • Remove from heat; add salt and stir. Let cool to room temperature.
    The compote will thicken as it cools down.
  • Serve at room temperature or chilled.
