My comfort zone is quite small...I made this and then was hesitant to try it! I almost used syrup on my pancakes....the old comfort zone you know...well I didn't and to my amazement and pleasure this was wonderful. I will be making this agian during the holidays and I hope my family will like it as much as I do.

This compote came together easily and worked really well with the sourdough pancakes. The pancakes are very mild in flavor and the compote really complemented them nicely. I actually used apples instead of pears and was very happy with the results. I just had to cook the apples longer to obtain the desired doneness.
