Seed Oil Free Spiced Pear Sauce
Warm, fragrant, and just sweet enough, this spiced pear sauce is the kind of simple recipe that makes your kitchen smell absolutely incredible. Ripe pears are simmered down with Ceylon cinnamon and ground ginger until they collapse into a silky, spoonable sauce that works beautifully as a topping, a side, or even stirred into oatmeal. A splash of apple cider vinegar at the end brightens everything up and gives it a subtle complexity that keeps it from tasting one-note. Every single ingredient here is clean and whole — no refined oils, no emulsifiers, no mystery additives that sneak into so many store-bought fruit sauces and condiments. The maple syrup adds a gentle, natural sweetness that you can dial up or down to your taste. Whether you mash it chunky or blend it smooth, this sauce comes together in one pan with almost no effort and stores easily in a jar for the week ahead.
