Pear and Raisin Compote with Crushed Pistachios

My son thinks pears are “abboles” (apples). He also calls milk “gilk”. I think it’s so darn cute, I never correct him. Bad parenting move? Probably. I’m sure he’ll figure it out by the time he leaves for college. Regardless of what crazy language we converse, this pear and raisin compote with crushed pistachios always gets the universal, “Mmmmm!” And you know that means good.

Pin It!

Paleo pear and raisin compote with crushed pistachios is an amazing dessert that's gluten free, dairy free, and refined-sugar free. And so easy to create in a flash!

I’ve been calling things by their given toddler names my whole life. My brother would say “CHUTE!” when something was dubbed as cute. And for 20-some years, my entire family still says chute. My nephew calls snacks “nacks”, which is another recent  term we’ve adopted.

So needless to say, if you are ever a guest in my home and you hear me ask, “Hey chutie, do you want a nack? How about an abbole with some gilk?”, don’t go running for the hills. Just ask me to speak in English (BAXTER!!!!) Sorry, I love Anchorman.

Baby talk is annoying – no doubt. But I promise this pear and raisin compote with crushed pistachios will make up for the annoying toddler ebonics.

Why? Chopped pears sautéed over the stovetop with a combination of cinnamon, cardamon, raw honey, and raisins, topped with crunchy pistachios make a delicious, paleo dessert that takes a just minutes to put together and seconds to eat.

This paleo dessert is easy, simple, and uses just a few ingredients for a warm treat that's fruity, sweet, and crunchy.

Traditional ‘crumbles’ or ‘crisps’ are typically made with a boat-load of refined sugar, white flour, and butter. Not this pear and raisin compote with crushed pistachios. And you don’t have to sacrifice the amazing flavor of warmed, sweet and juicy fruit with a crunchy finish. You just slash the calories. I’m pretty sure you’re ok with that, right?

I don’t suggest you let your toddler make this dessert, but he/she could. It’s toddler-level easy (aside from the knives and the intensely hot stove). There I go again, showing off what a crazy-good parent I am…

Wait, what? You want a babba goochie bam wawa bookie? Mmmmk I think your momma took the toddler speak to an extreme level and I have no idea what you are saying. Or did you just stuff your entire mouth with too much fruity amazingness ? That IS socially acceptable. So eat up my friends. Eat UP!

Juicy pears, sweet raisons, raw honey, and crunch pistachios complete this paleo dessert for two! Pear and Raisin Compote with Crushed Pistachios

You can serve this dessert as is, or save it for a pie filling, topping for ice cream, an add-in to oatmeal, or swirled into yogurt.

  2. Hah hah — do NOT correct his cute mispronunciations! They will self-correct way too fast…and then we’ll forget all about those toddler mistakes (unless you continue to use those terms for 20+ years…”chute”!). Either way, this compote looks delicious. I’d eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert…you can’t go wrong!

    • HA ditto. But I’m sure mine is waaaaaay worse than yours Heather. My pregnancy cravings are totally sweet and crunchy/salty. I am having trouble with the self control!!
