Homemade Pear Sauce is super easy to make on the stove or in the Crock-pot. The girls and I love our pear sauce on top of ice cream, or mixed into yogurt or oatmeal! Homemade pear sauce is also freezer friendly and makes a great homemade baby food!

Growing up I never liked fresh pears, something about the texture seemed off to me but I loved canned pears. Kinda strange, huh? Actually, I still do not like to pick a pear up and eat it like an apple. It’s still the texture thing. I’ll always prefer canned but I know that fresh are better for me.

My problem with store bought canned pears is that they add extra ingredients to preserve them. I try to limit the amount of these extra ingredients that we ingest. I do not know how to can food at home (yet) but I do know how to freeze food! The girls love my homemade cinnamon applesauce and berry-licious applesauce. I decided since pears and apples are pretty similar, I could probably make pear sauce and freeze it for the girls and I to enjoy.

Pears are practically in season all year and were recently on sale at the grocery store, I decided that now was the best time to try and create this simple recipe.

Homemade Pear Sauce

Ingredients:

• 10 pears

Directions:

1. Wash and peel pears. You can leave the skin on.
2. Cut pears into quarters and then chop into one inch pieces.
3. Place pear pieces in large pot and cook on medium-high until soft about 20-30 minutes stirring often. Or place in Crock-pot and cook on high for 3 hours.
4. Pour pears and juice into high powered blender or food processor. If you have to work in batches, make sure each batch gets some juice from the bottom.
5. Blend for 45-60 seconds or until all pears have been pureed smooth.
6. Pour pear sauce into containers to store.

To store:

1. Place in clean glass jars.
2. Allow to cool then close the lid.
3. Store in refrigerator for 3-4 days.

To freeze:

1. Place pear sauce in freezer safe containers. I like these freezer jars from Ball.
2. Allow to cool then close tightly.
3. Label and store in freezer for up to 3 months.
