Fall and winter means delicious, juicy pears! I feel that pears aren’t as popular as apples and oranges and deserve a little attention for their seasonal uniqueness. In this blog post I will show you how to make an easy and healthy dessert using pears.
Pears, like most fruits contain vitamin c and other trace minerals. Pears are notably high in fiber and pack a punch of antioxidants. Pairing a sweet juicy pear with the richness of creamy whipped cream balances out the flavor of the dish.
Whipping your own cream is easy and the taste cannot be beat! Your family and guests will be impressed with the flavor of homemade whipped cream. No sugar needed. The natural flavors stand out and blend together for a nutrient dense dessert.
