Stewed Pears (Dairy, Gluten/Grain and Refined Sugar Free)

By Irene Shaver @hhwife
Pear season is fast approaching.  One of my favorite pear dishes is a simple stewed pears.  This recipe is great served warm or cold, right from the fridge.  I am sure this would also taste great with some Coconut Whipped Cream on top.

  • 5 ripe pears sliced into 1/2 inch wedges
  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1 tablespoon psyllium husk (optional to thicken syrup)

  2. Bring to a boil and turn to simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. Serve warm or cold.
