Apple Pear Compote
Apple Pear Compote - This is a nice easy and quick compote that is good for having with roasted meats such as deer, beef or pork. It only needs to be made about an hour before you want to use it.
Ingredients
- 1 large Granny Smith apple
- 2 small ripe pears
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 dl raisins
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp sherry vinegar
- 2 tbsp red currant jelly
- pinch salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Peal and core the apple and pears and coarsely cut up into 2.5 cm or 1 inch cubes.
- Place in a hot sauce pan with the butter, raisins and thyme. Sprinkle in the sugar and saute for about 5 minutes.
- Add the sherry vinegar and red currant jelly and saute for about 5 minutes more until all the liquid in the pan has evaporated and the fruits are barely cooked. You may need to add a drop or two of water if the compote is too stiff once it has cooled.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
This is a nice quick accompaniment for roasted meats when you don't have what you need to make a sauce or gravy. It is also good with cold roast meats. It is best served just warm.
