Cranberry Compote with Riesling and Pears

This delicious twist on cranberry relish includes fresh pears, Riesling and warm spices. It is more tart than sweet, though you can use a sweeter Riesling or add more brown sugar if desired. The compote can be made up to a week in advance; store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
