Hi Sweet Friends,

When the Fall season arrives, I love making recipes that make use of the bountiful variety of apples and pears that grace the produce section of my local grocery store.  This fruit compote combines these two fruits into a delightfully sweet mixture that is equally at home topped on breakfast oatmeal or pancakes, as it is spooned over a pound cake for dessert…or simply eaten all by itself with a dollop of whipped cream.

Step-by-step instructions

When the Fall season arrives, I love making recipes that make use of the bountiful variety of apples and pears that grace the produce section of my local grocery store.  This fruit compote combines these two fruits into a delightfully sweet mixture that is equally at home topped on breakfast oatmeal as it is poured over a pound cake for dessert.  

Ingredients

• ▢ 8 Apples any variety
• ▢ 8 Pears any variety
• ▢ 1 cup Dried fruit any type or mixture
• ▢ 1 Lemon juiced with pulp and zest
• ▢ 1/2 cup Dried cane juice or other sweetener of choice
• ▢ 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, ground
• ▢ 1/4 teaspoon Allspice, ground
• ▢ 1/4 teaspoon Cloves, ground
• ▢ 1/4 teaspoon Ginger, ground
• ▢ Pinch Salt
• ▢ 1 cup Water

Instructions 

• Peel and Core all the fruit. Quarter each piece of fruit and chop each quarter into 6 bite-sized pieces. Add fruit to a medium-sized heavy bottom.
• Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and bring the mixture to a medium simmer. Once the mixture reaches a simmer, turn down to low and allow to simmer on low for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• After 1 hour turn off the heat and allow to cool. Once cool, decant to a container and refrigerate. The mixture should stay fresh refrigerated for one week to 10 days.

Notes

Allow the fruit compote to cool before storing.

Be sure you are cooking over low heat at just a simmer. This ensures the fruit cooks slowly and maintains its shape.

Use different dried fruits to create flavor combinations. Raisins, dried cranberries, and dried berries all work well with apples and pears.

Fruit Compotes can be used in a variety of ways.  They are wonderful topped on oatmeal and pancakes but are equally delicious spooned over a pound cake or angel food cake.  And a fruit compote is also perfect served simply by itself maybe topped with a bit of whipped cream.
