Kompots is a simple drink made from dried fruit, water and sugar, along with a bit of citric acid or dry white wine. It can be served both hot and cold, the latter with whipped cream floated on top. In this one, we used cranberries to add the necessary acid, but you could use oranges or wine as well. It’s easy to make since most of the “cooking” is unattended soaking of one form or another — which makes it a great choice for making while you prepare a lot of other holiday dishes.

If you need a flavorful, not too sweet, and oh so delicious alternative to the typical punch or ‘nog this holiday season, give kompots a try.
