Pear Sauce (Applesauce substitute) (Salicylate Free)

1 quart Pears (peeled and sliced)

1 cup water

½ cup sugar

1 tsp. fresh lemon or lime juice (lemons are higher in salicylate then limes, but both are fairly low)

Combine ingredients in a pot and cook until pear is tender. Then use an electric mixer to mash the mixture until smooth. Place pear sauce into an air tight container in the refrigerator and let cool. Once cool enjoy pear sauce as a topping, filling or all on it’s own as a light snack.

Enjoy!

PS - you can also use this same recipe with golden delicious apples to make apple sauce as golden delicious apples are still fairly low in salicylate. But, pears are lower in salicylate and it’s always fun to try something new :) Enjoy!
