Easy Pear Sauce
Easy Pear Sauce uses peeled and cored pears cooked with lemon juice, spices, and vanilla to create a sweet, spiced fruit sauce. The pears break down during gentle simmering, yielding a smooth or slightly chunky texture depending on blending. This versatile sauce can be enjoyed fresh or stored chilled, offering a natural sweetness with warm notes from cinnamon and ginger.

Ingredients
- 8-10 pear peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch pieces (I use Bartlett
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice fresh
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine pears, water, lemon juice, cinnamon, ginger, and vanilla in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pears have softened, about 25-30 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender to process the pear sauce until smooth. If you prefer a chunky pear sauce, mash with a potato masher. You can also transfer the cooked pear mixture to a food processor or blender to process, just make sure the pear sauce has cooled down.
- Once the pear sauce has cooled down, pour into glass or plastic containers. Cover and store in the refrigerator. The pear sauce will keep in the fridge for one week. You can also freeze or can the pear sauce.
