Mr. Ribeck von Ribeck in Havelland, a pear tree in his garden stood, mine is in neighbor's garden!

ingredients

  • 1 kg of pears
  • 500 ml of water
  • 2 vanilla sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp sugar
  • Cinnamon stick or ground cinnamon (or both)
  • 2-3 cloves

preparation

  1. Peel the pears, quarter, core, cut small.
  2. Boil water, vanilla sugar, sugar, cinnamon stick or ground cinnamon (or both) and cloves together and then add the pears.
  3. Approximately Simmer for 10 minutes. Always depends on the degree of ripeness of the pears.
  4. Then add 4 tablespoons of lemon juice.

My husbands like it fresh and sweet, so the compote is today with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream.


The rest I filled into small glasses with screw cap. Turned upside down, they are always available again ... for small sweet cravings in between, or as a side dish to rice pudding, semolina pudding, etc. ...

Ps. Since I personally absolutely nothing sweet, I cook "my compote" only with a little water and a little white wine.

Then a dash of cream on it, mmmmh. Unfortunately, I had already taken the pictures, now I can not put them in here anymore ... and everything is already eaten!
