Vanilla Spiced Pear Syrup
A sweet fruity syrup made with whole pears, sugar, almond extract, vanilla bean and water - making it vegan & gluten free. Perfect over ice cream, in cocktails or even one pancakes.
Equipment
- Small stock pot
- Spoon
- Fine mesh strainer
- Glass jar
Ingredients
- 1 Pear
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 2-3 drops Almond extract
- 1/2 Vanilla bean
- Pinch of Salt
- 3/4 cup Water
Instructions
- Chop the pear and add it with all the ingredients to a small stock pot. Place on high heat until rapidly boiling with the lid.
- Remove the lid and let it boil for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 mins with the lid on. We want to reduce it by 1/4.
- Take off the heat, blend and strain it gently through a fine mesh strainer. We don’t want the pulp in this syrup, hence don’t push too much through the fiber.
- Pour into a glass jar. Let it cool completely before you close it and label. T
- his doesn’t last long in my house - within 10 days it is over. If you would like it to last longer make a larger quantity. Also, it must be refrigerated.
Notes
- Do not throw out the pear pulp! - I have another recipe coming out next using the pear to make a delicious condiment. So it doesn’t got to waster - I make sure of that.
