DRIED FRUIT COMPOTE WITH FRESH APPLE AND PEAR



Dried Fruit Compote With Fresh Apple and Pear image

An alcohol-free compote with a variety of dried fruit and a bright flavor. This compote, which I like to add to my morning yogurt, does not involve wine, though you could add some red or white wine for flavor if you wanted to. The sweetness will vary with the type of fruit used. If you use dried sour cherries, don't use too many, because they will give the compote too stronga sour cherry flavor. Sweet fruit, like dried apples, pears and raisins, will result in a compote with a brighter taste. Apricots are great too, contributing another rich taste layer. I add fresh apple and pear for their texture, which remains somewhat crunchy even after they simmer.

RACK OF PORK WITH PEAR-APPLE COMPOTE



Rack of Pork with Pear-Apple Compote image

Provided by Ted Allen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup honey
10 juniper berries
2 sprigs rosemary
10 black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 2-pound skin-on rack of pork (pork loin roast) with 4 rib bones, frenched (ribs scraped clean; ask your butcher to do this)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, chopped
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced
1 Bosc pear, peeled and diced
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup apple cider
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Make the brine: Combine the salt, honey and 1 cup water in a small saucepan over high heat. When the salt and honey have dissolved, remove the pan from the heat and add the juniper berries, rosemary, peppercorns, bay leaf and garlic. Let steep until the water cools to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Add the brine mixture to a large container with a lid, then add 14 cups cold water. Score the skin on the pork roast with a knife in a 1-inch diamond pattern. Submerge the pork in the brine and cover the container. Let the pork brine overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the pork from the brine, then rinse and pat dry (discard the brine). Season the pork all over with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and black pepper. Heat a large ovenproof saute pan over medium-high heat for a few minutes, then add the olive oil and sear the roast on all sides until deep golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of the pork registers 150 degrees F, about 40 minutes. Remove the pork to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest at least 15 minutes.
  • While the meat is resting, make the compote: Transfer 2 tablespoons fat from the roasting pan to a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and saute, stirring, 5 minutes. Add the apple, pear, dried cranberries, orange juice, cider, brown sugar, mustard and rosemary; add 1/2 teaspoon each salt and black pepper, and the cayenne. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until the compote is soft and thick, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl. Carve the pork into individual chops and serve with the compote.

Apple, Pear and Plum Compote Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by HeidiHo5

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups peeled Granny Smith apples, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 2 medium apples)
2 cups peeled ripe firm pears, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 2 medium pears)
2 cups unpeeled diced plums (about 3 large plums)
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Serve alone or on cake.

Tips:

  • Prep your fruit: Peel, core, and slice the apples and pears into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a variety of apples and pears: This will give your compote a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Bosc, and Anjou.
  • Add spices and flavorings: Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla are all great additions to apple-pear compote. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or orange zest for a bit of brightness.
  • Cook the compote until it reaches your desired consistency: If you like a chunky compote, cook it for a shorter amount of time. If you prefer a smoother compote, cook it for longer.
  • Let the compote cool slightly before serving: This will help it thicken up and develop its flavor.

Conclusion:
