Cranberry Pear Compote

Monday, January 2, 2012


My mom originally made this cranberry "sauce" for Thanksgiving in Chicago.  I reaped the benefits of hosting and got to keep the leftovers.  I really consider this more of a fruit compote.  I love using it to top my Greek yogurt or just eat it plain.

In case you have an abundance of pears leftover from holiday fruit baskets, you should really make this.  Healthy and delicious to start the New Year right!

P.S.  You can head on over to Gina's site to check out the nutrition facts.
