Think ice cream topping! Think accompaniment to roast turkey! Or serve on top of that challah kugel you’re planning. You’ll want to use a firm pear when preparing this compote – anything that will keep its shape when cooked.
Place pears in six-quart pot and add water to barely cover.
Add sugar and cook over low heat for 20–30 minutes.
Cool thoroughly before removing from pot.
