Ingredients

  1. 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  2. 6 star anise pods
  3. 2 cinnamon sticks, broken
  4. 1/2 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
  5. 1 pound cranberries
  6. 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  7. 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
  8. 1 teaspoon Pernod
  9. 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  10. 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
  1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add the star anise pods, cinnamon sticks and vanilla bean and seeds and cook over moderately high heat until sizzling, about 1 minute. Add the cranberries and brown sugar, cover and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst, about 5 minutes. Add the vinegar and Pernod and cook for 2 minutes longer. Discard the star anise pods, cinnamon sticks and vanilla bean and stir in the lemon and lime zests. Let the compote cool to room temperature before serving.
