Notes
- Ingredients --
- Variations and Serving Suggestions --
- You can easily make this compote in advance. Store the finished recipe tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat over low heat or in the microwave.
- If your compote is too runny, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in a little water. The cornstarch slurry should be stirred into the hot fruit mixture and cooked for 1 minute.
- Cooking apples are varieties that hold their shape better when cooked. Examples of cooking apply varieties are Jonagold, Honeycrisp, Winesap, Pink Lady, and Granny Smith.
- I used red bartlett pears in this recipe, but almost any variety of pear is fine.
- You can use either white or brown sugar.
- Choose either dark or golden raisins; or substitute currants if you like.
- Use your favorite purchased granola from the grocery's cereal aisle.
- I enjoy a vanilla flavored Greek yogurt for this recipe but plain is just as good.
- Serve the compote warm over a slice of pound cake with a dollop of whipped cream.
- If serving for dessert, add two tablespoons rum or brandy to the compote near the end of cooking.
- Layer apple-pear compote with vanilla custard.
- Cook the compote until the fruit has broken down further and serve as a pancake topping.
- Serve over warm French toast.
- Substitute golden raisins or currants for the black raisins.
- Substitute your favorite fruits. Peaches, apricots, nectarines, plums, and cherries all make delicious competes.
- Serve as a side dish with chicken or pork.
