Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups cranberries ((~6 ounces as original recipe is written))
1/2 medium ripe pear ((Bartlett or Anjou // peeled + chopped // ~ 1 cup as original recipe is written))
2 tsp orange zest
2 Tbsp water
2 Tbsp maple syrup ((plus more to taste // or sweeten with stevia to taste))
1 750 ml bottle slightly dry champagne ((I love Argyle Brut, available at Trader Joe's))

Steps:

  • To prepare fruit compote/reduction, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) and add cranberries, pear, orange zest, water, and maple syrup to small baking dish. Toss to combine.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes or until the fruit is bubbly and most of the cranberries have burst. Transfer mixture to a food processor or small blender and blend/mix on high until a compote consistency is reached. If needed, add more water to thin (see photo).
  • Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more orange zest for citrusy flavor or maple syrup for sweetness (I added a little more of both).
  • To remove any residual pulp and give the puree a smoother texture, work through a fine mesh strainer/sieve and into a serving container/jar. This is an optional step that makes the cocktail easier to mix.
  • Transfer the compote to the refrigerator to chill - about 30 minutes to 1 hour or until cool to the touch.
  • To serve, add about 2 Tbsp of the compote into each serving glass (champagne flutes are ideal). Top with a bit of champagne. Then use a spoon or stirrer to blend the two together. This will help the fruit mix with the champagne more seamlessly.
  • Top with more champagne until the flutes or glasses are 3/4 full. Enjoy immediately! You will likely have leftover compote, which will keep for 1-2 weeks in the refrigerator.

PEAR CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL

We chose to garnish our cocktail with Seckel or Forelle pear slices because of their small size - they fit perfectly in the Champagne flutes. Be sure to lower the slices slowly into the flute or the Champagne will bubble over.

Yield Serves 1

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 teaspoon Poire William or other pear eau-de-vie
6 oz demi-sec Champagne or sparkling wine, chilled
Garnish: thin slices of pear

Steps:

  • Pour eau-de-vie into a Champagne flute and swirl around to coat inside of glass. Top off with Champagne.
