2 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
2 tbsp honey
¼ cup water

Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
1 tbsp unsalted butter (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the pear chunks, apple chunks, grated ginger, honey, water, Ceylon cinnamon, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir to coat the fruit evenly.
2
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is tender and beginning to break down at the edges, about 15–18 minutes. The liquid should reduce to a light syrup that coats the fruit.
