Pear Compote

I love all fruit compote. It started during the time I spent traveling in France and Italy, when prunes, apples, pears, and peaches would turn up as simple, quite wonderful compotes on the dessert trolley.... During cancer treatment, compotes can be life-savers. Cooking fruit concentrates its flavor, makes it easier to digest, and, allows those on an anti-microbial diet to eat fruit. The mix of dried prunes and fresh pears is particularly delicious; the prunes give sweetness and depth to the light taste of the pears. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt for some protein and you are set.
