In a heavy saucepan cook berries and sugar over moderately high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add Grand Marnier and zest and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture just comes to a boil.

While mixture is coming to a boil, in a small bowl dissolve cornstarch in water and stir in berries. Simmer compote, stirring, 3 minutes, or until slightly thickened and cool. Serve compote warm or chilled. Makes about 2 cups. Typed in MMformat by cjhartlin@email. Msn. Com
