The best strategy for making Magic desserts is to celebrate the fruits of the season. This simple but elegant compote brightens a winter meal with two seasonal favorites, oranges and pomegranates, and a splash of orange liqueur. Ruby-red pomegranate seeds, renowned for their antioxidant content and high in fiber, lend an exquisite, tart flavor and an appealing crunch.
2 tablespoons orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau, or orange juice
1 tablespoon sugar
3 medium-large navel oranges
1/2 pomegranate
1. Stir the orange liqueur (or orange juice) and sugar together in a medium bowl. Peel the oranges, removing the white pith with a paring knife. Quarter the oranges and slice. Add the orange segments to the bowl with the orange liqueur. Toss to coat.
2. Scoop the seeds from the pomegranate half into a small bowl, discarding the membrane. Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds over the oranges. One serving is 3/4 cup. The compote will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
