Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium, peeled, cored, and diced Apples
- 2 medium, peeled, cored, and diced Pears
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 0.5 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup, chopped Dried apricots
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the diced apples, diced pears, orange juice, water, and brown sugar.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Once simmering, add the dried cranberries, dried apricots, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fresh fruit is tender and the dried fruit has plumped up.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and stir well to ensure it is evenly incorporated.
Allow the compote to gently simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Serve the warm fruit compote immediately, or let it cool to room temperature and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
