Cranberry Kumquat Compote

• 1/4 pound kumquats (about 10)
• a 12-ounce bag fresh or unthawed frozen cranberries (about 3 1/2 cups)
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup sugar

1. With a sharp thin knife thinly slice kumquats crosswise, removing seeds.
2. Pick over cranberries.
3. In a small saucepan bring water with sugar to a boil and simmer, stirring until sugar is dissolved, 5 minutes.
4. Add kumquats and simmer 5 minutes.
5. With a slotted spoon transfer kumquats to a bowl.
6. Add cranberries to syrup and simmer 10 minutes.
7. Cool mixture completely.
8. (Cranberry mixture and kumquats may be made 3 days ahead and chilled in separate airtight containers - so kumquats will retain their color).
9. Just before serving, stir kumquats into cranberry mixture.
