Notes

Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.
Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.
To Store: In the fridge for up to 3 days. It is just as delicious the next day or a couple of days after that! 
To Freeze: Allow to cool, freeze in a sealed container. Defrost and reheat until piping hot.
Tip 1: The longer the better for marinating the pears. 
Tip 2: To melt coconut oil, either add to a pot over a low heat until it melts or pop in the microwave for 15 seconds.
Tip 3: I love to serve mine on coconut yoghurt.
