Ingredients
  

6 ripe pears (such as Bartlett or Anjou), peeled, cored, and diced into bite-sized pieces

1 cup brown sugar (choose light or dark based on your flavor preference)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup water

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pears: Begin by carefully peeling each pear and removing the core. Dice the pears into evenly sized bite-sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking.

    Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced pears with the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, fresh lemon juice, water, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until the pears are fully coated in the mixture, allowing the spices and sugars to blend beautifully.

      Transfer to Crockpot: Gently pour the prepared pear mixture into your crockpot. Use a spatula to spread the mixture out evenly across the bottom of the crockpot, which will help the compote cook uniformly.

        Cook: Place the lid securely on the crockpot and set it to low heat. Allow the compote to cook for 4 to 6 hours. If possible, stir the mixture occasionally to promote even cooking and blending of flavors.

          Check Texture: After cooking for about 4 hours, check the texture of the pears. They should be extremely soft and starting to break down into a saucy consistency. If you prefer a thicker compote, allow it to cook uncovered for an additional hour to let some liquid evaporate.

            Serve: Once the compote has reached your desired consistency, give it a good stir and taste. Adjust the sweetness by adding more brown sugar or enhance the cinnamon flavor if needed. Serve the warm compote over pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or ice cream for a delightful treat. Alternatively, allow it to cool down and store it in the refrigerator for later enjoyment.
