Yield: 6 to 8 servings

2 cups water
1 cup sugar
8 oz. dried apricots, cut into quarters
2 Tbsp. minced fresh ginger
1 12-oz. bag fresh cranberries

Place the water, sugar, apricots and ginger in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and boil 5 minutes to soften the apricots, stirring often. Add the cranbberries, return to the boil, lower the heat to medium and gently boil for 5 minutes more, stirring often, until the cranberries pop and soften. Remove from the heat and transfer to a medium bowl to cool. Chill and serve. This compote keeps well for 1 to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
