Edible Gifts - Cranberry Cupcake
I’d made a Festive Cranberry Fool as a dessert and had a fair amount of spiced cranberry sauce/compote left over. So, I decided to use the compote to make some Cranberry Cupcakes. The compote itself is super quick and easy to make. It keeps well in the fridge and if you’re watching what you’re eating, just spoon it over some low-fat greek yogurt and you’ve got yourself an instant low-fat dessert with all the punchy spice and creaminess of something sinful!
Spiced Cranberry Compote
Ingredients:
125g fresh cranberries
65g caster sugar
1 tbs honey
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground cloves
100ml water
Method:
Put everything into a small saucepan and boil for 10-15 mins or until most of the water has evaporated.
Cupcakes: Just add the compote to your standard vanilla cupcake batter and frost them with any icing you want. I went with chocolate ganache frosting.
Add any kind of sprinkles you want. I kept it as festive as I could with mini gingerbread men, candycanes, xmas trees and snowflakes :)
