In a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the pears and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are starting to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the cranberries, wine, the 1/2 cup brown sugar, cayenne, lemon peel and spice packet and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the compote has thickened and the cranberries have begun to burst, 15 to 20 minutes.
