Cranberry Citrus Compote
Juicy orange and grapefruit sections are bathed in a cranberry-orange syrup to make this sweet side dish. Serve it for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
-
2 medium oranges
-
3/4 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
-
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
-
1/4 cup water
-
1/4 cup orange juice
-
1 whole star anise
-
1 large red grapefruit
-
Whole star anise (optional)
Directions
1.
Remove a 1 1/21-inch strip of peel from one of the oranges; set oranges aside. In a small saucepan, combine the strip of orange peel, the cranberries, brown sugar, the water, orange juice, and the 1 star anise. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer cranberry mixture to a medium bowl. Cool slightly. Discard orange peel and anise.
2.
Meanwhile, peel, seed, and section the oranges and the grapefruit over a small bowl to catch juices. Stir orange and grapefruit sections and juices into the cranberry mixture.
3.
Serve compote warm or chilled. If desired, garnish with additional star anise (do not eat the garnish).

Cranberry Muesli
There may be as many versions of muesli as there are breakfast cereals, but this one's modeled after the original Swiss wake-you-up--a combination of overnight-soaked grains, nuts, dried fruit and yogurt. Make it the night before and you'll have breakfast ready when you are.
