2. Cook the mixture over high heat until it comes to a boil, stirring occasionally to ensure the honey is fully dissolved. ♨️

3. Once the mixture is boiling, add the diced Granny Smith apple and continue to cook over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by half and starts to thicken slightly. 🍏

4. Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced McIntosh apples and pears to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. 🍐

• Fruit Selection: Use a combination of Granny Smith apples, McIntosh apples, and ripe pears for the best flavor and texture. These varieties hold up well during cooking and offer a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.

• Storage: Store any leftover compote in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.

• Variations: Get creative with your Apple Pear Compote by adding additional spices such as cloves or cardamom for extra warmth and depth of flavor. You can also stir in a handful of raisins or chopped nuts for added texture and richness.
