Similar to applesauce, but different too! Lovely over pancakes or waffles instead of syrup.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4-5 large pears, cored and coarsely chopped, with skins still on (about 4 cups)
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

1
Cook pears over medium-low heat, covered, for a few minutes until they start to release all their juices. Then uncover and continue to cook until pears are soft.
2
Mash or puree to get your desired texture - I like to leave it kind of chunky.
3
Stir in honey and vanilla, mix well.
4
This will be a rather thin pear sauce, if thicker is desired, then continue to cook for up to an hour or so to evaporate more of the liquid.
5
Store refrigerated, tightly covered, for up to 2 weeks.
6
May also be frozen.

The vanilla was overwhelming, even though I used less than the recipe called for. I was good over yogurt and granola.

Very Good! I spooned mine over icecream and loved it! I also liked very much that this was easy to make: the pears didn't require peeling, a wash and out with the core and quick chop and it was in the pan cooking pronto. I used vanilla extract and wonderful! and I liked very very much that there is no processed sugar in this, the honey I was able to cut down to 1 tablespoon too, since I don't like things too sweet and in fact I didn't think that my version was tart at all, it was just right. Please see my Rating System: 4 excellent stars for a quick and easy sauce that tastes great. Thanks!

How fabulous and quick and easy is this !!!! Great way to use pears and the no peeling is the biggest plus. I have been spooning mine over my muesli and loving it so a big thanks for posting.

So quick to prepare and SO delicious. As other reviewers have commented - in our crazily over-busy lives - not having to even peel the pears: how good is that! I also loved the use of honey rather than sugar. I added some cinnamon, and cooked the pears for about an hour so that the sauce had taken on a thicker consistency. At this point, although I had not initially planned to do so, I added about a tablespoon of white wine. A wonderful aroma while the pears were cooking - especially after the wine had been added - and we greatly enjoyed them warm with a topping of Greek yoghurt. I also like katew's idea of using them over cereal for breakfast. So for me this will basically be both a recipe for topping or for having a topping (of yoghurt) added to! Thanks for sharing this fabulously easy and versatile recipe, Susiecat too!
