This compote recipe is foolproof, and better still, for a thanksgiving feast, you can whip the accompaniment up the day before. The sophisticated taste might knock our bourbon-cranberry compote into the adults-only category, but thats okay by usmore to spread over leftover turkey sandwiches, or to enjoy over ice cream or a bowl of yogurt. Simply heat fresh or frozen cranberries, sugar, apple juice, and bourbon in a saucepan until it thickens up nicely. Let the compote cool, and store it in a covered container in the refrigerator until youre ready for the feast. Serve the compote cold or at room temperature.
