Asian Apple Pear Compote

I had a surplus of apple pears so experimented! You could serve this for breakfast with cinnamon toast or put on ice cream with a chocolate sauce or anywhere that you would use stewed fruit. You may want to add some sugar when cooking it if you like things sweet.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 4  cups Asian pears, peeled, cored and chopped into chunks
• 1⁄4 cup water
• 1  teaspoon ground ginger
• 3  cardamom seeds

Directions

1. Place all the ingredients in a saucepan and cook over low heat until the fruit is soft but not falling apart.
2. Watch, you will probably have to add a little more water once or twice during the cooking so as not to scorch the fruit.
3. Don't drown them, just a couple of tbsp at a time.
4. Remove Cardamom seeds and serve.
