Ingredients
  

For the Compote
  • 4 medium Pears Choose ripe pears for optimal sweetness and flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Sweetener e.g., maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness of pears)
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Can be replaced with nutmeg.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Can use lime juice as an alternative.
For the Poaching Liquid
  • 3 cups Hibiscus Tea
  • 1/2 cup Freshly squeezed Orange Juice

Equipment

  • medium saucepan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the pears by peeling, coring, and slicing them into thick wedges.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the hibiscus tea, freshly squeezed orange juice, and any desired sweetener. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  3. Add the pear wedges to the saucepan, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid. Cover and let them poach gently for 15-20 minutes.
  4. Check the pears for doneness by piercing a wedge with a fork. If they are not tender, continue poaching for another 5 minutes.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pears cool in the poaching liquid for 10 minutes.
  6. Serve the warm pears drizzled with the poaching syrup over yogurt, oatmeal, or as a dessert.
  7. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
