The pear tree I planted at my parent’s place around 2010 is doing amazing things which meant I had an entire crisper full of ripe pears.
Eating them simple wasn’t working, they were getting so ripe they weren’t solid anymore… Which meant it was time to get creative.
Pulled out the canning recipe book and decided on a Pear Armaretto Sauce.. Except I had no Armaretto so settled for a local Caramel Liquor that has been in the cabinet.
Yes I write in my cook books.
Some adjustments were made to the recipe …
The taste: Delicious. Despite the 3 cups of sugar in this recipe its has a light and fresh feel and the pears can still be tastes through the sugar and caramel liquor.
Absolutely delicious on ice cream
The texture: Small pear bits remain from the food processor which is a nice reminder that fresh fruit was used.
The smell: Really not strong at all which was surprising with the liquor.
All and all very pleased with this experiment and looking forward to trying it on more things! Next up I think will be plain yogurt.
