  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Servings: 6

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups dry white wine
  • 1 pear, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 McIntosh apple, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 10 pears, peeled, cored, and diced
  • Non-dairy whipped topping

Instructions:

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the dry white wine, honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger. 🍷🍯

  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. 🍐

  5. Allow the compote to simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the fruits are tender and the liquid has mostly evaporated, leaving behind a thick, syrupy consistency. This typically takes about 10-15 minutes. 🥄

  6. Once the compote is ready, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving. 🕒

  7. To serve, spoon the warm compote into individual serving bowls and top each with a dollop of non-dairy whipped topping for a touch of indulgence. 🍨

  8. Enjoy this truly delicious Apple Pear Compote as a delightful dessert, perfect for any occasion! Serve it alongside your favorite desserts or enjoy it on its own for a comforting and satisfying treat. 😋

Recipe Notes:

  • Wine Selection: When choosing a dry white wine for this recipe, opt for one that complements the flavors of the apples and pears without overpowering them. Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio are excellent choices.

  • 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.
