Spiced Coconut Porridge With Cranberry Orange Compote Food

HOLIDAY CRANBERRY AND APPLE COMPOTE

Steps:

• Combine orange juice, apples, cranberries, white sugar, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until apples are tender and sauce has thickened slightly, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Transfer sauce to a dish; stir in softened butter and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. Sauce will continue to thicken.

CREAMY PORRIDGE WITH SPICED APPLE & CRANBERRY

Steps:

• Put the apples in a pan with 100ml water and cook gently until almost softened. Turn up the heat. Add the cranberries, mixed spice and 3 tbsp of the caster or granulated sugar and bubble until saucy. You can make this a day before serving.
• Tip the oats, milk, vanilla and remaining sugar into a big saucepan. Bring to the boil, stirring constantly, and simmer for 4-5 mins until creamy. Divide between 6 bowls and top with the warm or cold fruit mixture.

CRANBERRY-ORANGE COMPOTE

Steps:

• In a medium straight-sided saute pan, add sugar and wine. Bring to a simmer and cook until it creates a lazy bubble, 235 to 240 degrees F. Add cranberries and stir, bringing temperature to low. Continue to cook cranberries, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes. Add allspice, cinnamon, star anise, bay leaf, entire orange, orange juice, zest and salt. Cook until cranberries begin to burst and thicken, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes to cool slightly. Remove aromatics, orange and zest from cranberries and either puree in a high-speed blender for smooth cranberry compote, or leave as is for textured compote. Cool and reserve.
