Winter Pear Compote With Dried Cranberries

 

2 teaspoons grated orange zest

1 cup orange juice

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup dried cranberries

1 cinnamon stick

3 whole cloves

6 firm ripe pears, peeled, cored, quartered lengthwise

 

Place zest, orange and lemon juices, sugar, cranberries, cinnamon stick and

cloves in 3-quart saucepan. Bring to boil and boil, uncovered, until syrupy,

about 9 minutes.

Add pears, gently pressing into syrup. Simmer, covered, until just tender but

not mushy, about 3 to 5 minutes; it may take longer if pears are very hard. Cool

at room temperature. (Can be made a few days ahead and refrigerated, covered

airtight.)

To serve, remove cloves and cinnamon stick. Serve chilled or at room temperature

in small bowls. If you have a pomegranate on hand, sprinkle some seeds on the

compote when you're ready to serve it.

Serves 6.
