INGREDIENTS
| 2 | c | To 3 cups muscadines |
| 3 | c | Water |
| 4 | md | Firm, ripe pears |
| 3/4 | c | Sugar |
| 1 | tb | Plus 1 tsp cornstarch |
INSTRUCTIONS
Rinse muscadines; combine muscadines and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes. Remove from heat; mash muscadines with a potato masher. Strain through a jelly bag, reserving 1-1/4 cups juice; set aside. Peel pears, leaving stems intact. Cut a thin slice from bottoms, so that pears can stand upright. Place pears in a steamer in an upright position; cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until pears are tender. Combine sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan; gradually add reserved muscadine juice, stirring well. Bring mixture to a boil, and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Place pears in individual compotes; pour sauce over pears. From Hattie Culbreth of North Carolina in September, 1988 "Southern Living".
