Pear Puree

The silky texture and gentle flavor of this dish will charm you and your little one alike. It's simple to make, with a naturally delicate taste. Pears have been my obsession since I was a kid. As I recently discovered, almost everyone grew up on applesauce, but hardly anyone tried pear puree — and that's a shame! Compared to applesauce, pear puree has a softer, smoother texture and a milder flavor.

Here's how I make pear puree. The recipe is very simple and, just as importantly, gentle enough for little ones. Wash the pears thoroughly, remove the stem and core, and trim away any blemishes. Place the pears in water and cook until soft — about 10–15 minutes after the water comes to a boil. Drain off the cooking liquid (you can save it for a compote). Let the pears cool, then puree them with a blender. If the puree isn't for babies, add powdered sugar at a rate of about 1 tablespoon per pear. Your delicate puree is ready. Serve pear puree on its own as a dessert, or use it to dress up custards and ice cream. I love spreading it on pancakes and crepes. For those with a sweet tooth, try another version: stir three tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk into the finished pear puree for a kind of cream mousse — very tender and delicious.
