How to make cranberry compote

1. Grate or zest the rind from one of the oranges and squeeze the juice from both oranges.

2. Place all the ingredients into a heavy based pan.

3. Cook over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Continue to cook (simmer) the cranberries for 5-8 minutes until they are soft.

4. Turn the heat off when most of the cranberries have collapsed (gone pop). Remove a few whole cranberries and the cinnamon stick and use a potato masher to mash the sauce.

5. Return the whole cranberries to the sauce and pour into a jar or small bowl.

6. Keeps for 10 days if refrigerated and can be frozen.
