In my work at Publican Quality Bread, as well as the non-profits I have worked with, my goal has been to promote, create & develop a more equitable food system focused on food security which aligns perfectly with Dough Wines

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 thecornmeal 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. This will work best in a cast iron pan, or somethingsimilarly heavy bottomed. Grease the pan and preheat in the oven. While the oven is preheating, combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Whisk tocombine thoroughly, then add the remaining wet ingredients, including thesoaker, and whisk until all the dries are absorbed. Pour into the preheated panand bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Test with a toothpick orcake tester by sticking it into the center of the cornbread, the tester shouldcome out clean.
- If the pan is preheated properly thebottom should be just slightly more caramelized than the top. If you arefeeling indulgent, spread a pat of butter over the warm cornbread and drizzlewith a little honey before cutting.
