Cranberry Orange Compote

Makes 6 Cups

3        Cups Granulated Sugar
3        Cup Water
3        12 Ounce Bags Fresh or Frozen Cranberries
2        Cups Orange Marmalade Jam

In a large pot such as a Dutch oven combine the sugar and water. Bring the mixture to a boil.  Boil until the sugar is dissolved and becomes a bit syrupy, about 5 minutes.  Add the cranberries and bring to a rolling boil.  Lower the heat to simmer and cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring often.  Skim the foam that will float to the top as you go along. Add the Orange Marmalade Jam and bring back to the simmer. Cook an additional 5 minutes at the simmer.

Remove the pan from the heat and cool completely.  Store in air-tight containers and refrigerate for up to one month.
