Pear Simple Syrup
Sweet and a little spicy, this Pear Simple Syrup is the perfect sweetener for your favorite cocktails and mocktails! Or, try it with breakfast or over vanilla ice cream for a yummy addition to a simple sweet treat! All you need is 7 simple ingredients!
Ingredients
- 3 each medium pears halved and seeded
- 1 ½ cups water
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 each lemon halved
- ½ cup fresh ginger sliced
- 2 each cinnamon sticks
- ½ teaspoon whole cloves
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes or until the pears are tender. While the mixture is simmering, periodically “mash” the pears to release more of the flavor and liquid from the pears.
- Once the mixture has simmered, and the pears are tender, remove from the heat. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, until all liquid is strained. Let cool completely before placing in a mason jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- The pear syrup may also be frozen for up to 2 months.
