Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 large Bartlett pears, quartered, cored and thinly sliced
2 cups fresh or thawed, frozen cranberries
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 tablespoon orange juice
2 pints vanilla ice cream
Crumbled gingersnaps for garnish

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and then add pears, cranberries, sugar, cinnamon, orange zest, and juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fruit has softened and the liquid has reduced slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl to cool before serving, at least 15 minutes.
  • To serve, scoop ice cream into bowls, top with cranberry-pear compote, and sprinkle with gingersnaps.
