Spiced Orange And Pear Compote Recipes

PEAR COMPOTE

Steps:

• Peel, core and cut the pears into small cubes.
• Place the pear chunks in a small saucepan with the water, maple syrup, lemon juice, ground cinnamon and ginger. Stir to combine then turn on medium low heat.
• Cook for 15 to 20 minutes (see note 1), occasionally stirring, or until the pear chunks are very soft.
• Remove from the heat then blend until smooth with an immersion blender. Alternatively, roughly mash the pear chunks with a fork or masher for a chunky compote (see note 2).
• Serve warm, or leave to cool down at room temperature before transferring into a jar or sealed container. Keep in the fridge until ready to use or for up to a week.

In a medium saucepan, bring the diced pear, water, and sugar to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring often. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the liquid is syrupy, about 8 minutes.
