APPLE CRANBERRY COMPOTE
6 cooking apples, peeled, slice
1 cup fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1/2 cups water
1/4 cups port wine
sour cream , (low fat)

Arrange apple slices and cranberries in slow cooker/Crock Pot. Sprinkle sugar over fruit.
Add orange peel, water and wine. Stir to mix ingredients. Cover, cook on low 4-6 hours, until apples are tender. Serve warm fruits with the juices, topped with a dab of sour cream.

*I used canned cranberry and skipped the sugar.
I used Sandeman's Reserve Port and
served with Haggen Daas Vanilla Bean ice cream
& plain pound cake instead of sour cream.
I also used different kinds of apples and an asian pear.

Mashed Sweet Potato with Nutmeg and Sour Cream

4 large sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
4 tablespoons sour cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Rub the sweet potatoes with the oil and place in an
oven proof baking dish and roast potatoes until tender,
about 1 hour, turning once after 30 minutes.
When potatoes are cooked, set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
Cut the potatoes in half and squeeze the potato pulp
into a 3 quart saucepan. Set the flame to medium-low
and mash gently until smooth with a potato masher.
Add the salt, pepper, nutmeg, sour cream, and
butter and fold together until thoroughly combined.
Remove from the heat and serve immediately, or keep warm,
covered, until ready to serve.
