Directions

To prepare the pear compote, combine the pears, lemon juice, sugar, prunes, water, and clove in a small pot. Cover and cook over low heat for 20 minutes. Uncover and cook for another 10 minutes or until the liquid has reduced and turns syrupy. Discard the clove. Put aside to cool.
Blend the cottage cheese and yogurt together until smooth.

Chef Tips

If you are using the cottage cheese and yogurt mixture as a topping, try adding a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup as you blend to make this more kid-friendly.
