Using Up Pears

We bought a bunch of pears that, by the time they felt ripe, the insides were starting to brown. So, what do you do? Make Pear Sauce! Easy, easy, easy. Just like applesauce, only pears.

Pear Sauce

Peel 3-4 pears, and cut out middle section. Cut into chunks. Place into a small, covered microwavable casserole dish. Add about 1/8 cup water. Put in microwave for 8 minutes at 50% power. Remove and squash with potato masher or fork. Add cinnamon to taste. Taste. Does it need sweetener? If so, add a little, mix and serve.

This can also be frozen into cubes and served later with pork chops or for children's meals.
