How to Make Asian Apple Pear Compote

  1. Peel, core, and dice 2 pounds of apples and pears into ½-inch pieces.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!
