Smoky Persimmon Cranberry Compote

Smoky Persimmon Cranberry Compote

You know how some recipes start out by accident?

Well, I was in the middle of making cranberry sauce when my  S.O. called and was lost coming home from a conference in a nearby state.  I ran to the computer to get directions, came back to my sauce, and accidentally put in cumin instead of  cardamom.  Not good, since the sauce was for a cake!

 I did my best to scoop out the cumin and then I posted on Facebook what had just happened.  Everyone reminded me that that might not be such a bad thing!  I could just develop it into a sauce with a different flavor profile and serve it in a savory fashion.   The smoky cumin pairs so nicely with the tangy cranberries, and I added some persimmon to sweeten things up a bit.  So far, I’ve tried it on cream cheese, chicken and fish, and found it to work every time.

What d’ya know–I guess some accidents can become a blessing!
