Ingredients

• 6 whole (medium-sized) ripe pears
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the pears. Core them and cut into chunks of roughly the same size for even cooking.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the pear chunks, water, and lemon juice. Stir to coat the pears with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook the pears for 20-25 minutes or until they are soft and tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 6

Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture into a smooth sauce directly in the saucepan. Alternatively, transfer the cooked pears and liquid to a blender or food processor to blend until smooth. Adjust the consistency with additional water if needed.

Step 7

Stir in the ground cinnamon. Taste the sauce and, if desired, add sugar to enhance sweetness. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Let the pear sauce cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for later use.

Step 9

Serve warm or chilled as desired.
