Ingredients

  • 8 pears leave the skins on for extra fiber
  • ½ lemon
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup water

Instructions

  • Peel the pears (if desired) and slice around the core. They do not need to be neat chunks as it'll all soften and get pureed anyways.
  • Squeeze out the juice from 1/2 a lemon and add zest if desired.
  • Add all ingredients to your slow cooker and set on high for 2-3 hours or low for 3-4. If cooking on the stove top, it'll take 20-30 minutes.
  • Optional: Add a 1/2-1 tsp of ground cinnamon either mixed in or sprinkle on your individual servings.
