To make a successful CBD apple and pear compote, it's important to use natural ingredients. Perfectly ripe fruit, a small dose of CBD suitable for food use, a touch of vanilla or cinnamon to taste, and perhaps a drizzle of honey will easily replace any added refined sugar.

- Williams or Comice
- Food-grade CBD extract (oil or powder suitable for cooking)
- Vanilla pod, ground cinnamon, or a few spoonfuls of honey , as desired.
- A little waterfor cooking in a saucepan
The secrets of peeling and cutting fruit
The peeling and chopping stage ensures a velvety texture without any unblended pieces. Simply peel apples and pears , then remove the seeds and cores before dicing each fruit into small cubes. A sharp knife and a stable cutting board make this task easier.
Cutting the fruit into even cubes ensures consistent cooking and prevents some pieces from remaining crunchy while others turn to mush. The finer the cut, the lighter and more melt-in-your-mouth the final texture will be.
Mastering pan cooking for a velvety texture
Cooking in a saucepan remains the most precise method for obtaining a smooth compote. Place the fruit cubes in a saucepan with a little water, then cover and cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to monitor the texture and ensure the compote doesn't stick.
When the fruit begins to soften and a compote-like texture develops, remove from heat and add the CBD to preserve its quality. Then blend everything until smooth, worthy of the best homemade compotes. The final addition of vanilla or cinnamon enhances the recipe without masking the natural flavors.
