Ruby-Red Cranberry Compote With Apple And Pear

• 1 cup Water
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar
• 1 Tablespoon Orange Zest
• 2 Tablespoons Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice
• 2 bags Fresh, Whole Cranberries (12 Ounces Each)
• 1 whole Gala Apple (peeled, Cored And Diced Small )
• 1 whole Bosc Pear (peeled, Cored And Diced Small)
• 1/8 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice Or Cinnamon

1. 1) In a medium pot over medium heat, add the water and the sugar; bring to simmer.
2. 2) Add the orange zest and the orange juice, and then the cranberries, the cubed apple and pear; gently stir to combine.
3. 3) Cover the pot and allow to gently simmer for about 8 minutes, until you hear the cranberries begin to 'pop' and begin to crack slightly; then turn off the heat.
4. 4) Stir in the pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon, if substituting), and pour the hot mixture into a glass bowl; allow to completely cool before covering with plastic*. Keep it refrigerated until ready to serve. Enjoy!
5. *Mixture will be a bit 'thin' but will thicken as is cools due to the natural pectins.
