  • pieces Juice, lemon

  • 1 bag Sugar, white

  • 1 spoon Sugar, white

  • 0.5 piece Spices, cinnamon, ground

  • 3 pieces Spices, cloves, ground

Steps

  1. Wash and peel the pears. Cut them into quarters and remove the stems and cores.

  2. Place the pears in a smaller pot and cover them with enough water to fully submerge them. Add a cinnamon stick, sugar, lemon juice, and cloves. Cook uncovered over moderate heat until the pears soften.

  3. Once the pears are cooked, remove the cinnamon stick and cloves. Drain the pears but reserve the liquid. Blend the pears with an immersion blender until smooth. Add enough of the reserved liquid to achieve a smooth mixture.

  4. Serve the pear compote in bowls, either warm or cold. Optionally, add a dollop of whipped cream or Greek yogurt.
