Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (medium, peeled and cored) fresh pineapple
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- 1 whole (split and scraped) vanilla bean
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.33 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Cut the peeled and cored pineapple into small, bite-sized chunks and set aside.
Place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar, water, and the vanilla bean seeds along with the scraped pod.
Cook the sugar mixture until the sugar has dissolved completely and starts to form a light syrup, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the pineapple chunks to the saucepan and stir to coat them in the syrup.
Reduce the heat to low and add the lemon juice. Continue to cook the pineapple, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes until the fruit softens and absorbs the flavors.
Once the pineapple is tender, remove the vanilla bean pod and discard.
Stir in the unsalted butter to give the compote a rich finish.
Remove from heat and allow the compote to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature over ice cream, pancakes, yogurt, or enjoy on its own.
