Step 1

Use a pairing knife to peel and cut your pear into small cubes.

Step 2

Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to medium-low heat and allow to simmer for 20-30 minutes, until the pears have softened and the liquid reduces and thickens to a syrup. Cooking time will vary based on how ripe your pears are to begin with.

Step 3

Allow your pear compote to cool and then transfer it to an airtight container.
