Pear Compote with Dried Cherries


Vanessa Burancco
Whole Foods

2 ripe but firm Bartlett pears, peeled, cored and chopped
¼ cup dried cherries or raisins
1/3 cup apple juice
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar
Salt & pepper to taste

Put pears, cherries, juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a small pot and cook over medium heat; stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes.

Add vinegar, salt and pepper and continue to cook until juice is thickened and pears just begin to fall apart, about 5 minutes more.  Set aside to let cool for 5 minutes, and then serve.
