Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large ripe pears, about 2 pounds (preferably Bosc pears or Anjou pears)
1/2-1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or 1/2 teaspoon allspice
2 cups apple juice or 2 cups fruit nectar
2 tablespoons brandy or 2 tablespoons dark rum
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Peel and core the pears and cut into eighths; set aside.
  • In a medium-size saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon or allspice. Stir in the juice or fruit nectar and mix well. Place the pan on medium-high heat and cook the sauce, stirring, until the mixture is smooth. Add the pears and bring the sauce to a gentle boil.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 15 - 20 minutes or until the pears are just tender, almost translucent, and the syrup is thick. Stir in the rum and butter and heat a few minutes longer.

The compote was a little bit too sweet for my taste. I might try using less sugar next time.

The pears were a little bit too firm for my taste. I might try letting them ripen a little bit more next time.

The compote was a little bit bland. I might try adding some spices or extracts next time.

The pears didn't hold their shape very well. I might try poaching them next time instead of stewing them.

The compote was a little bit too runny for my taste. I might try adding a little bit of cornstarch next time.

The pears didn't soften as much as I would have liked. I might try cooking them for a little bit longer next time.

I wasn't sure how I felt about the pears at first, but they really grew on me. The flavor is subtle, but it's really nice.
