• 1/4 cup orange juice

• 6 cups pears quartered

1. Rinse and juice oranges to equal ¼ cup. Place the juice in a large pan and heat on medium-high.

2. Rinse the pears and cut into quarters. There is no need to peel the pears! (They all get blended up and the fiber & nutrient count is higher with the skins.)  

3. Add the cut pears to the pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 30 minutes, until the pears are very soft, stirring often to prevent the bottom from burning.

4. Transfer the cooked pears to a blender and blend until smooth. * Serve with love!

*CAUTION when blending hot food. Blend in small batches. Cover and hold the lid with a towel to prevent the lid from popping off from the steam.
