Mustard Free Blueberry-Lemon Pear Snack Stacks
These little stacks are the kind of snack that looks far more impressive than the effort required to make them. Juicy pear slices are layered with a warm blueberry compote that comes together in under ten minutes — bright with lemon zest, lemon juice, and a gentle warmth from ground ginger and Ceylon cinnamon. The result is something that tastes like a deconstructed fruit tart but requires zero baking and zero fuss. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from mustard and mustard derivatives, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved — just clean, whole-food ingredients doing all the heavy lifting. A drizzle of honey and a few torn mint leaves at the end take it from simple to genuinely beautiful. Whether you're putting together an afternoon snack, a light dessert, or something to set out for guests, these stacks deliver real flavor with a refreshing, fruit-forward brightness that's hard to resist.

For the blueberry compote
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp lemon zest (from about ½ lemon)
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ⅛ tsp ceylon cinnamon
For the stacks

Instructions
- 1
Combine the blueberries, 1 tbsp honey, lemon zest, 1 tbsp lemon juice, ground ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens to a loose jam consistency, about 6–8 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes until slightly thickened but still spoonable.

While the compote cools, arrange the pear slices on a cutting board or plate and toss gently with 1 tsp lemon juice to prevent browning.
