Compote of pears and dried apricots

How did we miss publishing this recipe for compote of pears and dried apricots? It is one of the richer I've tried.

At home we really like to prepare compote with different fruits but since it was published in the Thermomix Magazine it has become a classic. I have prepared it so many times that over time I have modified it to our likings. In fact, the original recipe calls for hazelnuts that I substitute for mint to give it a more refreshing touch.

Another change I have made in this compote of pears and dried apricots is in the sweetener. If you notice it does not contain sugar which I have substituted for agave syrup. It is not a major change, in fact the texture is still just as good but diabetics will surely be delighted.
