Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

Instructions

1
Combine the pear chunks, water, maple syrup, Ceylon cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir to coat the pears.
2
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pears are completely tender and collapse easily when pressed with a spoon, about 20–22 minutes.
