1-28 ounce jar of pears in their own juice 1/3 cup raw cashews 1 TBL alcohol-free vanilla extract 1 tsp xanthan gum

Drain pears, reserve juice for another use. In a blender, blend pears until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and blend until incorporated. Chill. Serve over fruit desserts. Chef's Note: Substitute unsweetened jarred peaches in their own juice for the pears. Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide which is used a a thickener. Leave it out if you wish.
