4. To serve, top warm cobbler with cranberry compote, a scoop of ice cream, or whipped cream. Sprinkle with cinnamon and chopped nuts, if desired. Serves 6.

Cranberry Compote

The sauce will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Bring back to room temperature or heat slightly in the microwave before serving. Delicious as topping for ice cream, pound cake, angel food cake, waffles, and pancakes.

1/2 vanilla bean split lengthwise
3 cups dry white wine
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup sugar
1 and 1/2 -inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and quartered
1/2 cinnamon stick
2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
Pinch of ground nutmeg
1 1/3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon butter

1. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into a 2-quart non-reactive saucepan. Add vanilla bean pod, white wine, dried cranberries, sugar, ginger, cinnamon stick, orange zest and nutmeg.

2. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 1 1/3 cups, about 25 minutes.

3. Gently stir in fresh (or frozen) cranberries; cook just until they begin to pop, 1 to 2 minutes.

4. Add orange juice, and return to heat; discard vanilla bean, ginger and cinnamon stick. Stir in butter and let cool to room temperature. Makes about 3 cups.
