Loading...I had lots of pears. I processed them into sauce and am working my way through it. I wanted something a little different, so I started researching. I put together this recipe using ingredients and processes from a few different recipes. It isn’t a solid jam, but not quite a sauce either (or maybe I just had a good day and it didn’t turn into sauce!) I used homemade vanilla extract and shook it before putting in so the bits of vanilla would come through. The Vanilla Pear recipes I found said NOT to use extract, the flavor wouldn’t come through as well. I thought it was terrific!

This sounds yummy! Do you drain the crushed pineapple, or put it in juice and all?

Juice and all! There really isn’t that much juice and it just so happened to make 2 cups worth, so I went with it and doubled the amount of pear sauce.
