• In a saucepan, combine the first nine ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until cranberries pop and apples are tender. Add the peaches and apricots; heat through. Stir in pecans; serve warm or chilled. Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Start by making a simple syrup: dissolve the sugar in the water in a medium saucepan. Add vanilla beans and bring to a simmer. Add the orange juice and cranberries, a dash of salt and some freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Simmer until cranberries begin to pop and become tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Dijon mustard. Chill cranberry sauce until ready to serve. The sauce can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. Just before serving, garnish sauce with freshly grated orange zest.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Place over medium-high heat, and cook 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until berries start to pop but are still whole. Transfer to a bowl to cool; serve.

Steps:

• Put the cranberries, orange and lemon zest, orange and lemon juice, sugar, vanilla, and 1 1/2 cups of the water in a medium-size nonreactive saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 8 minutes.
• Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining 1/2 cup of water and add to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium, then stir constantly until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and cool completely.

Steps:

• Stir together all ingredients in a 4-quart heavy saucepan and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until berries have burst, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove star anise and cool completely.

Steps:

• Grate zest from lemons. Cut 1 lemon in half, and squeeze juice from 1 half into a saucepan, reserving remaining 1 1/2 lemons for another use. Peel orange, and cut in half. Add peel to pan, and squeeze in juice from half the orange, reserving remaining half for another use. Add cranberries and 1 1/2 cups sugar, and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Cook until cranberries are soft and begin to burst, about 15 minutes. Let cool, and then refrigerate for 1 hour (or up to overnight).
• Combine ricotta with remaining 3 tablespoons sugar and the lemon zest.
• Remove orange peel from compote, and discard. Set aside a few cranberries for garnish. Layer each of 6 serving cups with 1/4 cup lemon ricotta, 1/4 cup compote, and then 1/4 cup lemon ricotta. Garnish with reserved cranberries.
