Bourbon-Cranberry Compote
Gentl & Hyers
This compote recipe is foolproof, and better still, for a Thanksgiving feast, you can whip the accompaniment up the day before. The sophisticated taste might knock our Bourbon-Cranberry Compote into the adults-only category, but that’s okay by us—more to spread over leftover turkey sandwiches, or to enjoy over ice cream or a bowl of yogurt. Simply heat fresh or frozen cranberries, sugar, apple juice, and bourbon in a saucepan until it thickens up nicely. Let the compote cool, and store it in a covered container in the refrigerator until you’re ready for the feast. Serve the compote cold or at room temperature.
How to Make It
Step 1
In a saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, apple juice, and bourbon.
Step 2
Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries begin to burst and the sauce thickens, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool before serving.

I agree to make it the day/night before Thanksgiving. I didn't let my cranberries burst nearly as much as they did in the recipe's photo. I preferred the look and texture of the whole cranberries. But, it becomes less of a sauce and more of a side-dish in this fashion.

I agree with Genematas, below, on all counts and would add the following: This cranberry compote is very rich and not only complements the thanksgiving meal, but is spectacular warmed up and served over vanilla ice cream.

De-lish! 5 Stars! I had my doubts about the Bourbon as it seemed too strong while cooking, but it was PERFECT! I recommend making the dish the day before so the berries have time to simmer and soak in all the flavors.
