How to Make Asian Apple Pear Compote
- Peel, core, and dice 2 pounds of apples and pears into ½-inch pieces.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the diced fruit with ¼ cup of water, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar (or to taste), 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon of ground cloves.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed. For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of orange juice or a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!
