Appel compote & Cranberry compote

Apple compote

Preparation

  1. A true Dutch classic that can simply be made and eaten all year round. And so easy to make!
  2. Peel the apples and cut them into slices.
    Put all the ingredients in the pan and set it on medium-high heat.
    Bring it to a boil and then turn the heat down. Cook the apples for 30 minutes.
  3. Ready to serve warm or cold. If you have any left over, it is also delicious with yogurt the next day.
  4. A cheerfully colored classic for Christmas dinner. A dish that you can make a few days in advance.
  5. Over medium heat, warm a saucepan. Add the orange juice and sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Heat until it bubbles and the juice thickens (6-8 minutes). Add the cranberries and lower the temperature.
  6. Stir to mix everything well. After about 3 minutes, add the orange slices, cinnamon stick, juniper berries, bay leaf and salt.
    Stir occasionally while it simmers gently, the cranberries pop and the sauce thickens.
  7. Remove the pan from the heat source and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Remove the orange and spices and let it cool completely.
  8. Store in the refrigerator for one week
