1-First, combine all the ingredients 8-10 peeled and cored pears cut into 1-inch pieces, 1/4 cup water, 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in a large saucepan.

2-Next, bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 25-30 minutes until the pears soften.

3-Once softened, use an immersion blender to puree the sauce until it’s smooth, or mash it with a potato masher for a chunkier feel.

4-Finally, let the pearsauce cool before serving or storing it in the refrigerator for later use. It’s ready to enjoy as is or as a topping on your favorite foods.
