A compote of cooked apples and pears is a nice light way to end a late fall through early spring meal. It's a perfect dessert for Passover, served with chocolate-covered matzo or matzo brittle.
Combine all but the last two ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook over moderate heat until the fruit is soft, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Stir in the raisins and lemon juice and let cool, then chill, covered, until needed.
Serve in individual dessert bowls or parfait glasses.
