• ½ tsp coconut oil (optional)  

• Dash of cinnamon (approximately 1/8 tsp)  

• Pinch of salt  

• 2 pears, washed, peeling optional, diced  

• Lemon juice, squeeze   

Microwave 

1. In a microwave safe bowl or plate, add diced pears, cinnamon and salt (coconut oil optional).  Cover with a paper towel to prevent splattering. Cook in the microwave for 3 minutes, stirring the pears every minute to distribute the heat and cook evenly. Cook until pears are fork tender but not mushy.  Adding more time if needed in 30 second increments. Caution: the plate will become very hot in the microwave. Use oven mitts to remove safely.   

2. Add a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve warm with love.    

Stovetop

1. Add a small amount of water to a saucepan or small pot – just enough to line the bottom. Optionally: melt coconut oil in a saucepan or small pot.  Add cinnamon and a pinch of salt.    

2. Add diced pears. Toss to coat. Cover with a lid and cook until soft, stirring occasionally. Cook until the pears are fork tender but not mushy. Cooking time will vary based on the ripeness – how hard or soft – of your pears.  If the pot begins to look dry, add more water.   

3. Remove from heat and add lemon juice. Serve warm with love.
