Yuja-cha Fruit Compote Bowl
A Korean-inspired fresh fruit bowl built on the flavour logic of yuja-cha (citron tea) — a honeyed citrus-lemon syrup steeped with orange, pear and pomegranate, finished with toasted pine nuts for crunch. Light, cold and fragrant rather than heavy or creamy.

Instructions
1
In a small bowl, whisk the honey, lemon juice and water together until the honey fully dissolves to make a light citron-style syrup.
2
Peel the orange, removing all white pith, and finely shred a tablespoon of the zest-free pith trim or reserve a little peel julienne for citrus brightness, then separate the orange into segments.
3
Slice the cored pear thinly and toss both pear and orange segments gently in the honey-lemon syrup so they're coated and begin to lightly macerate.
4
Divide the fruit and syrup evenly between two serving bowls.
5
Scatter pomegranate arils and toasted pine nuts over the top of each bowl.
6
Chill both bowls for at least 20 minutes before serving so the fruit absorbs the citron syrup.
