1 ½ cups red OR Asian pears, cored, peeled and sliced (about 2 medium)
¼ cup orange juice
½ teaspoon Spice Islands Ground Saigon Cinnamon

Tips:

  • Choose seasonal fruits: Using fruits that are in season will ensure they are at their peak flavor and ripeness. Try to buy local whenever possible to support local farmers and get the freshest produce.
  • Prepare the compote in a large pot: As the fruit will release its juices during cooking, you will need a large pot to accommodate the mixture. Make sure the pot is large enough to allow the fruit to bubble and simmer without overflowing.
  • Use a variety of spices and flavors: Experiment with different spices and flavorings to create a unique and flavorful compote. Some popular choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, vanilla, and citrus zest.
  • Adjust the sweetness level to your preference: The amount of sugar or honey you add to the compote is up to you. Taste the compote as it cooks and adjust the sweetness level accordingly.
  • Let the compote cool before serving: Once the compote is cooked, allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the compote to thicken slightly.
