The delicately spiced compote gives many meat dishes even more flair!
Peel, halve, and dice the onion. Peel, quarter, core, and finely dice the pears. Heat the oil in a saucepan and sauté the diced onion. Add the vinegar essence, apple juice, cloves, and honey and bring to a boil. Add the diced pears, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Pour the cranberries into a sieve, drain well, and finally add to the pear mixture. Heat briefly and season with cayenne pepper. Pour the compote into hot, rinsed jars. Seal, turn upside down, and let cool. The compote makes enough for 2 jars (250 ml each) and will keep for 4-5 months. Another variation: Simply cook with 1-2 teaspoons of diced fresh ginger. The spicy root harmonizes wonderfully with the sweetness of the pears and cranberries.
