Pear Nectar

• Use pear nectar as a base for refreshing summer cocktails and mocktails. Its delicate sweetness blends well with spirits like vodka, gin, or rum, and complements herbal or citrusy additions. Consider pear nectar for making bellinis or pear margaritas for your next brunch or gathering.
• Incorporate pear nectar into baked goods like muffins, cakes, and quick breads to enhance moisture and impart a subtle pear flavor. Substituting some of the liquid in your recipe with pear nectar results in a tender crumb and a more complex flavor profile.
• Create delicious and healthy smoothies by blending pear nectar with fruits like bananas, berries, and spinach. It adds natural sweetness and helps to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency, masking the taste of greens for a more palatable beverage.
• Make flavorful sauces and glazes for poultry, pork, or seafood using pear nectar as a key ingredient. Reduce the nectar with other flavorings like ginger, soy sauce, or balsamic vinegar to create a sweet and savory sauce that complements grilled or roasted dishes. This also makes an ideal glaze for ham!
• Use pear nectar to poach fruits like apples or other pears for a simple yet elegant dessert. The nectar infuses the fruit with its delicate flavor and creates a beautiful, glistening finish. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Unopened pear nectar can be stored in a cool, dark pantry at room temperature until the expiration date. Once opened, transfer any unused portion to an airtight container and refrigerate immediately. Use within 5-7 days for the best quality. Avoid storing open cans or bottles, as this can affect the flavor and promote spoilage.
