Along with apples and pumpkins, pears are one of the tell-tale signs of the season to come. I love pears, and have been known to eat them to the point where the core is merely a string barely holding onto the pear seeds. My pear-love is one of those taken-for-granted loves. Pears have so much potential, yet I barely delve into the possibilities. So, I decided, at least, to make pear butter.
So, I looked up a recipe. And went to town. Now neither the yogurt nor breakfast grains have to be naked!
The recipe that I used was pretty basic and called for 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water for every pound of pear that you used. I added cinnamon, allspice and ground ginger. Alex can’t wait to have some!
