Recipe Review

If you like your cranberry compote sweet, read no further - this recipe is probably made for you. I felt it was far too sweet. I added the juice of a whole lemon, and it ended up being less sweet, but also pretty lemony. Next time I would probably use only 2 cups of sugar, and then see if I need to add more.

Makes five or six jars. Served with Meatballs with Vodka Dill Cream Sauce.

Edited 14 October 2017:
I made a small batch (250 g, one fourth of the recipe), and to my surprise I thought it needed the whole amount of sugar! I guess it depends on the flavour/intensity of your cranberries. It was way too dry, though; I added an extra espresso cup full of water, and it still ended up being too solid. Made one Bonne Maman jar plus about 2 tbsp extra.

Served with Finnish Meatballs with Allspice, Sour Cream and Lingonberries.
