Vegan Quinoa Stuffed Pears

I am always outdoors & active all day. I crave slightly heavier foods to keep me going on the slopes. Even just walking here you get a workout (living at close to 10,000 feet gets the heart a thumpin’!)
This sweet/savory salad fuels me up and gets me from bump runs to kiddo school pick up with great energy…
Cook your bacon. Chop it up. Dress salad greens with sliced pear, blueberries and salad dressing.
Sinfully sweet with nothing added but sun ripened raspberries and plump, juicy apples…
Fruitful!
Bring all ingredients to a boil in a large saucepan. Reduce to a simmer, partially cover the pot and cook for 25-30 minutes until the fruit is nice and tender, Carefully transfer fruit sauce to a blender or food processor. Purée until well combined. Serve warm or chilled.
I do not remove the apple skins. They add great nutrients, flavor and fiber.
Use your favorite apple variety for homemade applesauce. We love Pink Lady, Granny Smith, Gala and Honey Crisp apples. A combo is great too.
Add your favorite natural sweetener to taste of needed. This will depend on the overall sweetness of your fruit.
