This compote recipe is foolproof, and better still, you can whip it up the day before Thanksgiving. Simply heat fresh or frozen cranberries, sugar, apple juice, and bourbon in a saucepan until it thickens. Let the compote cool, and store it in a covered container in the refrigerator until you’re ready for the feast.

Ingredients

  • 1 12-ounce bag cranberries, fresh or frozen (3½ cups)

  • ¾ cup sugar

  • ½ cup apple juice

  • ¼ cup bourbon

Directions

  1. In a saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, apple juice, and bourbon.

  2. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries begin to burst and the sauce thickens, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool before serving.
