CINNAMON ROASTED PEAR OR APPLE COMPOTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Peel, core, and dice the fruit into 3/4-inch pieces.
• Place the fruit, sweetener or choice, lemon juice and cinnamon in an oven-proof casserole with a lid and mix well.
• Bake covered for 25 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for another 2o minutes or until the fruit is tender.
• Cool to room temperature and use as desired.

WARM PEAR COMPOTE

Steps:

• Peel and core the pears and cut into eighths; set aside.
• In a medium-size saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon or allspice. Stir in the juice or fruit nectar and mix well. Place the pan on medium-high heat and cook the sauce, stirring, until the mixture is smooth. Add the pears and bring the sauce to a gentle boil.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 15 - 20 minutes or until the pears are just tender, almost translucent, and the syrup is thick. Stir in the rum and butter and heat a few minutes longer.

ASIAN APPLE PEAR COMPOTE

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients in a saucepan and cook over low heat until the fruit is soft but not falling apart.
• Watch, you will probably have to add a little more water once or twice during the cooking so as not to scorch the fruit.
• Don't drown them, just a couple of tbsp at a time.
• Remove Cardamom seeds and serve.
