WARM COMPOTE OF PEARS AND CRANBERRIES
1/2 cup apple cider or water
1/3 cup granulated sugar or honey
1 cup fresh cranberries
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 large ripe pears, peeled, cored and cut into 8 equal slices
1/4 cup raisins
In medium saucepan,* bring the cider or water, sugar and cranberries to a boil over medium heat. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the cranberries soften.
Add the lemon juice, pears and raisins, and mix gently with a rubber spatula so you don't cut or gouge the pears. Reduce heat, cover and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice.
Remove the cover and simmer for another 2 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears are just tender.
Transfer the compote to a bowl and serve.
Cover and refrigerate any leftovers, which can be reheated the next day.
*Do not use aluminum or iron cookware for this recipe. The acids in the ingredients could react with the metal, giving the food an off-taste.
Servings: 6
