The bright notes of the Grilled Cranberry Compote and the round, earthy texture of this Heritage Cornbread pair great with the bold & balanced flavors of Dough Cabernet Sauvignon.

Ingredients

- 2 pounds fresh cranberries
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups orange juice
- 4 tablespoons burnt cinnamon ground
- 4 tablespoons ancho chile powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary toasted and chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
Heritage Cornbread

- 2/3 cup heritage cornmeal
- 2 cups buttermilk
Final Mix
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup +1 tablespoon spelt flour
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoon honey
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons raw sugar
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/3 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Cranberry Compote
- Grill the cranberries over medium heat using a small grill grate to hold them, they should be charred and starting to burst open. It will be best to grill over wood or charcoal.
- Once charred, combine the cranberries, sugar, orange juice, salt, ground cinnamon and chile powder in a small saucepot.
- Cook over medium heat until thick, about 7-8 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add the toasted & chopped rosemary, cool to room temp and serve.
Heritage Cornbread
- In the evening on day 1, combine the cornmeal and buttermilk in a bowl and mix by hand until thoroughly combined.
- Let this mixture sit at room temperature for 12-24 hours.
- The next evening, preheat the oven to 400F. Grease a cast iron pan, or something similarly heavy bottomed.
- While the oven is preheating, combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Whisk to combine thoroughly, then add the remaining wet ingredients, including the soaker, and whisk until all the dries are absorbed.
- Pour into the preheated pan and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Test with a toothpick or cake tester by sticking it into the center of the cornbread, the tester should come out clean.
- If the pan is preheated properly the bottom should be just slightly more caramelized than the top.
- If you are feeling indulgent, spread a pat of butter over the warm cornbread and drizzle with a little honey before cutting.
- Serve with cranberry compote.
