![]() I mentioned trying out a cardamom-pear syrup to Kelli the other day, and before I could get the words “champagne cocktail” out, she had mentioned, “Oh, like for over ice cream?” Um, yes for over ice cream! Gosh, this recipe had better turn out now that I’ve got such big plans for it. *Or at most the week it takes me to eat the 9×13 pan of that meal. ![]() Maybe I’ll make a per-recipe batch and an experiment batch! Still, these will be gifts (if the recipe works!), so I think I’ll shell out for the juice.įrankly, you could probably combine the two with good results, especially since the recipe in question calls for added sugar. The bottle (equivalent to 4 cans) was $3. Well, and the price is a pretty big difference. The biggest difference is the sugar per serving, which is 29g for the juice and 45g for the nectar. Neither are really great for you, nutritionally speaking. I kept sipping the nectar thinking, “This is good! It tastes a little like… apple juice!” Duh, check the label, Caitlin sure enough, contains apple juice! Sweeter than the 100% juice, and thinner consistency they both contained some level of sediment but the nectar had much less. J ust thinking about it now I went and poured myself a glass. The pear juice is just luscious, there is no other way to describe it. But nectar appears to be a term you can use for drinks that contain, well, fruit and then almost anything else. That doesn’t sound entirely right to me, since plenty of drinks marketed as juice (though I suppose they may technically call it something else, fruit beverage or something I’m sure) don’t contain that percentage. The tiny amount** of web-research I did makes it sound like to call a product “juice” it has to contain 100% fruit juice. Which then means you get home with copious amounts of pear-flavored liquid. …What is pear nectar? …Oh it’s 38 cents a can, yeah, okay, well we’re getting it, whatever it is.” That’s cool, I like 100% and organic, but it wasn’t really something I had to have for this recipe.īut walk to the end of the (enormous!) juice aisle, and you will find individual cans. I was thinking I might have a little selection, but nope, the 100% organic stuff was the only option. Pear juice is straight-forward in that the likelihood of your typical grocery store carrying more than one kind is a bit slim. And it turns out this is both straight-forward and complicated, as many new ingredient quests are. For a-project-yet-to-be-divulged (oh, you got me, I can’t keep a secret, it’s this), I had to buy pear juice at the store. I’d forgotten how much fun it is to make something that lasts longer than a meal*!Įdible gifts will be on the to-do list as well, naturally, and that’s where today’s subject comes in. 50+ Sold weeebeveragesParadise Mango Nectar Juice 520. And trips to Hobby Lobby and Michael’s happened. Items like the Goya Pear Nectar are sourced from the highest quality. I actually started planning this summer, when my job was whoa light and I had lots of time between emails asking me to do things. But I’m making most of the gifts I’m giving this year, because Student Loans, so I’m getting a jump on the gift-making process! I’m in full Christmas-prep-mode! Not in the decorating sense yet, because decorating before Thanksgiving is.
