I had several pears in the fruit bowl that weren’t getting eaten so I decided to make some pear sauce with them. I’ve had a craving for some pork chops lately and what would pair better than some delicious creamy pear sauce? I happened to make this sauce on an afternoon when my son had a buddy over so they both had a bowl of this creamy sweet sauce and agreed it was delicious and most definitely blog-worthy. Thankfully, they left some for our pork chops!
How to Make Pear Sauce
Place the diced pear in a saucepan over medium-high heat with the water, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla. Bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover with a lid, and simmer, stirring occasionally until softened, about 25-30 minutes.
Remove from the heat and blend with an immersion blender (or blender) until smooth and creamy. Serve warm or cold.
Store sealed in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a week. Enjoy.

I have never had pear sauce. thanks for introducing me to this new food.
Pam what delicious sauce ! I love pears, I would happy to try this!

Im fixing to use this recipe, thank you. I received about 15#s from a neighbor and there was no way our family of 3 could gobble them up so ,,,here we go.
I report back after and let you know.
Try mixing pears with apples. It a cool twist. Use apple juice instead of water and use brown sugar instead of white sugar. Don’t mash too much. Have it a little on the chunky side.
