 ions&nbsp\;</h3>\n<p><br /><strong>Part 1: Fall Fruit Compote&nbsp\;</stro
 ng></p>\n<ol>\n<li>Start the compote before making the pancakes&mdash\;tha
 t way\, your compote can simmer and thicken while you make pancakes.&nbsp\
 ;First\, rinse your&nbsp\;pears\, apples\, and grapes. Do NOT peel your fr
 uit!&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>Remove core from pears and apples. Cut fruit into 1-
 inch pieces&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>In a medium pot\, add pears\, apples\, grapes
 \, raisins\, cinnamon\, and nutmeg.&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>Add apple juice and w
 ater to pot to barely cover the fruit.&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>Bring fruit and ju
 ice to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10&ndash\;15 minutes. Remove fro
 m heat.&nbsp\;This is a good time to start making your pancake mix&mdash\;
 look for Part 2 on your recipe card.&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>In a colander\, stra
 in the fruit over a small bowl\, reserving the liquid.&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>Re
 turn the liquid to the pot. Add cornstarch. Cook on low to thicken slightl
 y. Remove from stove and let cool.</li>\n<li>&nbsp\;Pour thickened juice m
 ixture over fruit and stir. Let it cool while you start making pancakes. O
 r\, store in an air-tight container for up to 1 week.&nbsp\;</li>\n</ol>\n
 <h3><br />&nbsp\;<br />Part 2: Pancakes!&nbsp\;</h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Start your
  pancake batter while bringing the compote fruit and juice to a boil (see&
 nbsp\;Step 5 of compote instructions).&nbsp\;In a large bowl\, combine flo
 urs\, oats\, baking powder\, and salt. Mix well.&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>In anoth
 er large bowl\, crack egg. Beat lightly with a fork.&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>Add 
 orange juice\, milk\, and canola oil to egg. Mix well.&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>Co
 at large skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat.
 &nbsp\;</li>\n<li>Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Stir just until 
 dry ingredients are moistened. Do not overmix.</li>\n<li>&nbsp\;Pour &frac
 14\; cup batter into hot pan for each pancake. Adjust heat as needed to av
 oid burning.</li>\n<li>&nbsp\;Flip pancakes when bubbles appear on top of 
 the batter and the edges are slightly browned\, about 3-4 minutes. Cook un
 til second side is slightly browned\, about 2-3 minutes more&nbsp\;</li>\n
 </ol>\n<h3><br />&nbsp\;<br />Chef Notes:&nbsp\;</h3>\n<p><br /><strong>Pa
 ncakes&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>If using an electric griddle instead
  of a skillet\, preheat to 375&deg\;F before using.&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>Chop 
 and add 3 Tablespoons of your favorite nuts if no one is allergic to them.
 </li>\n<li>Make a double batch\, cool\, and then freeze the cooked leftove
 rs. To prevent the pancakes from sticking together\, layer waxed paper bet
 ween each pancake. Place the stack in an airtight container or zip-top pla
 stic bag. Freeze for no more than 6 weeks. Warm pancakes in a microwave or
  toaster oven for a quick breakfast.&nbsp\;</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Compot
 e&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use any type of apples and pears you like
 .&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>Try a combination of dark and golden raisins\, dried cr
 anberries\, or dried cherries.&nbsp\;</li>\n<li>Enjoy alone or on top of g
 rilled meat or fish\, over low-fat plain yogurt\, or over oatmeal or toast
 .&nbsp\;<br />For a hearty and healthy brunch\, serve with whole wheat pan
 cakes. Add a dollop of low-fat plain or vanilla yogurt.&nbsp\;</li>\n</ul>
