Apples and pears are almost always popular, so this warm, comforting dessert recipe is great for potlucks or other get-togethers. I also like to add raisins or chopped nuts to the compote, and for a more adult flavor I add 1/3 cup brandy or rum.-Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada

WARM PEAR COMPOTE



Warm Pear Compote image

This compote is delicious served with both pear ice cream and pear sorbet.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 Bartlett or Anjou pears, peeled and cored
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup brandy

Steps:

  • Cut pears into 1-inch cubes. Melt butter in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add pears and saute until they start to brown. Add sugar and cinnamon and cook 5 minutes more, stirring often.
  • From a measuring cup (never the bottle), pour brandy over pears. Ignite with a match and cook until flames die down.
  • Place a school of Pear Ice Cream and Pear Sorbet in each of 4 bowls. Divide warm compote among bowls and serve.

Tips:

  • Select ripe pears: Use ripe and flavorful pears for the best results. Slightly underripe pears can be used for the compote, as they will soften during cooking.
  • Chill the ice cream base before churning: Chilling the ice cream base for at least 4 hours or overnight helps it churn more smoothly and evenly.
  • Churn the ice cream according to your ice cream maker's instructions: Different ice cream makers have different churning times, so follow the manufacturer's instructions for the best results.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container: Once the ice cream is churned, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
  • Make the compote ahead of time: The spiced pear compote can be made up to 3 days in advance. Simply store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Pear ice cream with spiced pear compote is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and tangy pears with the creamy ice cream is a surefire hit.
