Pear and Pumpkin Pancakes with Cider Syrup

Andrea Slonecker By on

Chilly fall mornings are back! Before bundling up the family for a trip to the pumpkin patch, fill them up with a hearty breakfast that celebrates the season. Grated pears add sweetness to a fall favorite, pumpkin pancakes, limiting the sugar and bumping up the nutrition. Here it’s best to use a tender, juicy pear variety that is on the sweeter side, such as Bartlett, Comice, Anjou, or Starkrimson. To top it off, pear cider is cooked down with maple syrup to make a simple yet delicious all-natural syrup for drizzling. Serve with bacon and eggs for a complete brunch while entertaining houseguests when the holidays roll around. These fluffy flapjacks are sure to be a new family favorite.

Smoky Pear Bites

Brittany By on

Last Friday, after a long week of work, I went home hungry, hot, and tired. I didn’t feel like turning on the oven, but I needed food, fast. I wanted something sweet, but salty. Easy, but tasty. And then I remembered: Smoky Pear Bites! I came across this simple and ingenious recipe on one of my favorite blogs a few months ago, and I don’t know why I didn’t try it earlier. It combines one of the tastiest meats (bacon) with my favorite fruit (pears). Best of all, it’s perfect for sharing at parties and backyard barbecues.
