Рецепт apple and pear compote
alex is a pear and apple junkie. when i came across this recipe while looking for something to serve with vanilla bean rice pudding i knew i would have to make it for him. turns out that the vanilla bean rice pudding didn't need anything extra but i am still glad i discovered this recipe because it is damn good and versitle.
the apples and pears hold their texture well in this compote. i was a little nervous about the apple cider vinegar but it really gives this a complex flavor. i had to substitute apple juice for apple cider but adding some spices made it very similar.
i have included some serving suggestions at the bottom of the post.
btw...alex loved it and so did i.
apple and pear compote
adapted from Wegmans
- 2 cups apple cider
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp unsalted butter, divided
- 2 medium (about 1 lb total) Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, small diced
- 2 medium (about 1 1/2 lbs total) Bartlett pears, peeled, cored, small diced
- 1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise
Combine apple juice, vinegar, and brown sugar in medium saucepan. Simmer on medium-high, uncovered, stirring occasionally until reduced to 2 Tbsp, 15-20 min. (Be careful - it turns the corner QUICK!)
Melt 1 tsp butter in saute pan on medium. Add apples, pears, and vanilla bean. Cook 3-4 min until softened. Scrape tiny seeds from vanilla bean into fruit mixture - discard pod. Stir in reduced apple cider glaze to finish apple & pear compote. Cool to room temp.
Serve with....
- Vanilla Bean Rice Pudding
