Ingredients
- 4-5 ripe pears (Bartlett or Bosc), peeled, cored, and diced
- 2-3 tbsp sugar (adjust to how sweet the pears already are)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

- 2/3 cup walnuts or pecans, toasted and roughly chopped
Method

Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, 15-20 minutes until the pears are soft and the liquid's syrupy. Off the heat, stir in the toasted nuts. Pull out the star anise if using.
