Pear compote is sweetness personified. With its delicate and slightly sweet taste, it goes wonderfully with a wide variety of ice creams, whether fruity, creamy or spicy. And good news, it's super simple to make at home and lends itself perfectly to creations made with the Ninja Creami.
Ingredients :
- 4 to 5 ripe pears (Williams or Conference type)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, depending on the sweetness of the pears)
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla (extract or seeds from a pod)
- 50 ml of water
Preparation :
- Prepare the pears
Peel the pears, remove the core and cut them into small pieces. If the pears are ripe, they will be sweeter naturally and you may need less sugar. - Cook the pears
Put the pear pieces in a saucepan with the water, lemon juice and sugar (if you wish to add some). Heat over medium heat for about 10 to 15 minutes, until the pears are very soft and starting to break down. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. - Add the vanilla
Once the pears are well cooked, add the vanilla extract or vanilla pod seeds. This will intensify the sweetness and aroma of your compote, while adding a little exotic touch. - Mixing (optional)
If you like very smooth compotes, put everything in a blender or use a hand blender to obtain a homogeneous texture. If you prefer pieces, leave it as is to keep a nice rustic texture. - Let it cool
Let the compote cool before eating it or using it on your ice cream. You can store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for about 4 to 5 days.
