Cinnamon Vanilla Pears for Jack

Jack loves these pears.  Wash and peel your favorite variety.  Just make sure they're nice and ripe.  I'm extra cautious about scrubbing produce for Jack and Sam and use Veggie Wash to be on the safe side (thanks Robyn Scotto!).

Cinnamon Vanilla Pears

a bunch of ripe pears
a dash of cinnamon
a piece of vanilla bean, split


Add everything to a heavy pan.  Cook down over medium-low heat until they reach the consistency of applesauce, stirring every now and then.  Mash if they're too lumpy.  Cool and serve.  Freeze your leftovers.

*These become very watery when frozen/thawed.  I add a bit of cereal (rice,oatmeal) to thicken them back up.
