Ingredients: Any Fruit
Description: "This sweet dish is made by heaping tasty fruits into a pan and simmering until tender."
For this we're just starting with ONE fruit, there's a 4-fruit version coming up. When I think "simmered" I think pears for some reason. So pears its gonna be! I picked some bold pairings with this bold flavour: white wine, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. And syrup for that extra sweetness.
Damn i see why people call pears "juicy". It's like peeling a wet bar of soap.
Next I chop them into quarters and get rid of all the hard bits, seeds and stems and that.
And in a pot they go with the white wine, cinnamon, nutmeg and a few cloves. It's gonna be festive! I also have a tiny sprig of purple sage to garnish.

Yep, the flavours were fun and worked really well. A nice idea for such a simple dish. One thing I don't like about pears though, is that weird mealy texture, and the ground spices kinda enhance that for an extra-fine grittyness. I guess now I see the point in buying whole spices to infuse for things like this.
