RECIPE: Earnie's post reminded me of a very good compote I made the other day, REC: Pear-Banana Topping

I was experimenting a little again, and ended up with this very good pancake topping. Maybe I was carbohydrate-deprived ;o), but it tasted soooo good to me.

I wasn't sure how the savory/sweet combination would work out, but it was very good.

2 bananas, sliced into thick "coins"

3 medium-sized pear, cubed

2 Tbsp brown sugar

1 Tbsp butter

1/4 cup dry red wine (well, as if it mattered - there was so much sugar in this when I got done with it anyway!)

dash salt

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1/4 tsp cinnamon

sour cream

Cook bananas, pears, brown sugar, and butter in a small frying pan, stirring occasionally.

When mixture begins bubbling, carefully add the wine, salt, and spices. Cover and simmer until desired consistency is obtained (about 10 minutes).

Use as a topping for anything that sounds good. I spread it on some corn pancakes, then added a little sour cream on top.

 
Oh, Dawn

I must try this. I have the pears and will pick up bananas tomorrow. I see pancakes on my menu for Thursday morning.

Thanks.

Earnie
