Servings: 4

Ingredients

Lemon juice
2 tablespoons
Water
1/2 cup
Honey
1/4 cup
Cinnamon
1 teaspoon
Ripe pears
4, peeled, cored, and diced

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the diced pears, cinnamon, honey, water, and lemon juice. Ensure that the pears are well-coated with the other ingredients.
  2. Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Allow the mixture to come to a boil.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer. Continue to cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the pears have softened and the liquid has thickened into a syrupy consistency.
  4. After cooking, remove the saucepan from the heat. Allow the compote to cool for a few minutes before serving.
  5. Serve the compote warm or chilled. It can be used as a delightful topping for yogurt, pancakes, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
