Health and fertility benefits of Cranberry-Cherry Compote

Researchers believe that cranberries contain substances that prevent infection-causing bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract walls. However, store-bought cranberry juice is typically all sugar - so make sure to stick with straight cranberries.

Ingredients

20 ounces frozen or fresh cranberries (about 4 1/2 cups)
10 ounces frozen dark sweet cherries (about 2 cups)
1 1/4 cups (packed) brown sugar
1/2 cup apple cider
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup bourbon

Instructions

Bring cranberries, cherries, brown sugar, cider, and pepper to a boil over high heat in a medium saucepan. Cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, then stir in bourbon. Reduce heat, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring often and pushing fruit against the side of the pan with the back of a wooden spoon to break apart slightly, until thick and syrupy, about 25 minutes more. Let cool completely.
