Changes

And finally, just to make the dessert a tad more diverse and make use of other autumn fruits, let add one more recipe from the same source, this one for pear compote. In modern Polish, "''kompot''" refers to a popular watery drink made from fruits boiled with sugar. In the 19th century, though, the meaning was closer to the French original, that is, a thick and very sweet fruit syrup. In fact, you could simply buy a can tin of pears in syrup, pour them into bowls, add some spices and the effect would be almost the same.
