Yield Makes about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 lb fresh or frozen cranberries (3 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons water
1/2 star anise or 1/4 teaspoon star-anise pieces
1/2 to 2/3 cup sugar
3 firm-ripe Fuyu persimmons (about 1 lb total), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice

Steps:

  • Bring cranberries, wine, water, star anise, 1/2 cup sugar, and a pinch of salt to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, stirring occasionally, then reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Add more sugar, to taste (up to about 2 1/2 tablespoons), and discard star anise. Fold in persimmons.
