Caramel Pear Sauce

This recipe was originally to be an ice cream topper... but I thought it sounded like a delicious waffle topper instead. I am sure it would still be great on ice cream, but I was looking for a new syrup recipe & I thought this would be awesome. And I was right. It was so tasty! Of course, it didn't hurt that it was ridiculously easy and I was able to use a jar of pears that I had canned myself! The recipe calls for a 29 oz. can, but my mason jar was bigger than that. It worked out just beautifully, but if you are afraid of tweaking, I would follow the original recipe.

Caramel Pear Sauce

{this sauce is best warm. If you have to stick it in the fridge,

you can easily warm it up in the microwave before serving}
