Spiced Pear Simple Syrup
Pears, cinnamon, and sugar combine to create this super easy spiced pear simple syrup for cocktails!
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1.5 cups chopped Pears such as Comice or Bartlett, chopped into 1" pieces
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3 Cinnamon Sticks
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine water, pears, sugar, and cinnamon sticks over medium heat. Stir gently until sugar has completely dissolved.
- Turn the heat down to medium-low, and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Remove from heat, and allow to cool to room temperature (about 20 minutes).
- Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a glass measuring cup. Discard the pears and cinnamon sticks.
- Strain the syrup a second time through a fine mesh sieve into a large glass bottle that tightly seals.
- Refrigerate for up to two weeks, or add a splash of vodka and refrigerate for up to one month.
Notes
I used comice pears, as they are sweet and delicate. You can use other types of pears, but allow them to slightly dissolve as you are making the syrup!
Makes about 2 1/2 cups.
