Ah, Patrick. I've been so excited to make this dessert, I cannot even tell you. First, about Patrick the person. He is our ever-present sound tech at church. He LOVES chocolate.

Spiced Cranberry Compote
So, compote is a pretty fancy term for fruit in a sugar syrup. In this case, it reminds me very much of the most awesome cranberry sauce you've ever had.
