Somehow, I felt guilty about our pears rotting away on our trees. I mean really, al the buzzy things were really enjoying them. We were feeding all of them. So many buzzy things. Oh, my goodness. Nicholas and I decided we would try to make some pear sauce. If we liked it - maybe that would be a thing! We love apple sauce, why not pear sauce. Well, first you have to go out and pick ripe pears with all the buzzy stingy things outside. Also, you have to dodge being bombed with soft mushy pears that go "splat!" when they fall on the ground. I ended up being the picker since Nicholas ran from the buzzy stingy things - for some reason he's been stung multiple times at church potlucks - so he's really uninterested in those critters lately. I had visions of scooping the soft pear and cooking it down gracefully... it was a sticky sloppy mess... some were soft, some were brown and gross, and some not ripe at all. We did cook it down a while and when all the pears were soft, we mashed it and called it done. What does it taste like? Pears. Shocked, aren't you? Nicholas was thrilled but honestly it didn't make much and I didn't think was worth the work since my help abandoned me. Want to try something new? Go for it! Get ready to be sticky, avoid the stingers, and enjoy some pear sauce.
Recipe? Um... Peel, core, and chop pears. Cook until desired texture... smash, cool, enjoy.
