What each ingredient does
- Cranberries
- Provide the tart flavor and body, and their natural pectin helps the compote thicken as it cools.
- Splenda
- Provides sweetness to balance the tart cranberries.
The step that matters
Simmer without stirring for 10 minutes. The berries need time in the simmering liquid to burst and release their pectin. Pectin sets as the compote cools, so judge the thickness only after it has cooled completely.
