APPLE-PEAR COMPOTE
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

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.
