I also must comment on the beautiful photographs. Plus, pears are my favorite fruit and this is a new recipe for me, (I just made and wrote about yogurt cake with bartlett pears today). I am excited to try your poached pear compote . Thank you so much. Enjoy the festival of light !
All the best,
Michaela
