Gluten Free Spiced Pear Sauce
Warm, fragrant, and naturally sweet, this spiced pear sauce is the kind of simple recipe that makes your whole kitchen smell incredible. Ripe pears simmer down with maple syrup, Ceylon cinnamon, and ground ginger until they're completely tender and collapsing into a silky, spoonable sauce. A splash of apple cider vinegar at the end adds just enough brightness to balance the sweetness and keep every bite interesting. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from gluten, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden additives sneaking in. You can leave it chunky with a potato masher for a rustic texture, or go smooth with an immersion blender depending on your mood. It's equally at home spooned over oatmeal, stirred into yogurt, served alongside roasted pork, or eaten straight from the jar with a spoon — no judgment. Make a batch, stash it in the fridge, and you'll find yourself reaching for it all week long.
