Once upon a time I bought some pears. Then I forgot I bought some pears and I bought some more pears. Then we had a mini pear debacle going on. But I’m not one to let a pear debacle get me down, nope, in fact I’m here to say that when life gives you pears; make pear sauce!
This idea all came about when my son asked me for applesauce the other day. I’m not a huge fan of applesauce although I do give it to my kids (unsweetened) every now and then. The thing that has always bothered me, however, is that it is cooked. So although it is made of apples, and contains the fiber as well as the juice, it is not the same as eating a fresh apple because there are none of the live enzymes.
In the midst of our pear debacle, a light bulb went off in my head. I grabbed some pears, threw them in a food processor with a little bit of cinnamon, and 5 minutes later my kids had a delicious, healthy snack very similar to their beloved applesauce.
A few notes on this recipe: My pears were very ripe and getting brown spots on them which made the sauce turn out extra juicy and sweet. The firmer your pear, the thicker your sauce will be. Also, I did not peel my pears, but I think next time I will because I could taste the texture of the skin. It wasn’t bad, but I think it would be even better if the pears were peeled.
