Black Grape Compote

Ingredients

• 2 star anise pods
• 3 cups seedless black grapes
• ⅓ cup sugar
• ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
• Pinch of kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps

1. Bring star anise, grapes, sugar, lemon juice, and salt to a boil in a large skillet, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until grapes burst and mixture is syrupy, 8–10 minutes. Discard star anise; whisk butter into compote. Let cool.
