Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe pears
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the pears into thin wedges or small cubes.
In a medium saucepan, combine the pears, sugar, water, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Allow the pears to cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and syrupy.
Once the pears have softened, remove the lid and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes to thicken the syrup slightly.
Stir in the vanilla extract and remove the saucepan from the heat.
Let the compote cool slightly. Serve warm or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week.
