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
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and slice the pears into thin wedges or small cubes.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the pears, sugar, water, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Once the pears have softened, remove the lid and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes to thicken the syrup slightly.
Step 6
Stir in the vanilla extract and remove the saucepan from the heat.
Step 7
Let the compote cool slightly. Serve warm or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week.
