Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium, peeled, cored, and chopped apples
- 2 medium, peeled, cored, and chopped pears
- 1 cup, drained canned pineapple chunks
- 1 cup frozen cranberries
- 1 cup orange juice
- 0.25 cup, packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons, unsalted butter
Instructions
Prepare the apples and pears by peeling, coring, and chopping them into bite-sized pieces.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it foams slightly.
Add the apples, pears, and cranberries to the saucepan and stir for 2-3 minutes to lightly soften them.
Pour in the orange juice and stir in the brown sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the pineapple chunks during the final 5 minutes of cooking to warm them through.
Remove the compote from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding a small drizzle of honey or a pinch more brown sugar.
Serve hot, on its own, or as a topping over pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or ice cream.
