NOW Real Food Organic Agave Nectar Raw Blue Agave Amber Description
Known in Mexico as aguamiel, or "honey water", Agave Nectar was considered a gift from the gods by the ancient Aztecs, and today is considered nature's perfect sweetener by many. Agave Nectar (also called Agave Syrup) is minimally processed using low temperatures and has a low glycemic index.
NOW Real Food® Organic Amber Agave Nectar is a medium-intensity liquid sweetener with a taste closer to maple syrup. Its stronger flavor makes it ideal for use in more hearty culinary applications, and it's an excellent substitute for maple syrup. It dissolves quickly and easily in both hot and cold beverages, so use it right out of the bottle for a healthy splash of natural sweetness!

Pear Almond Crisp
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This pear crisp recipe is winter in a dish. Juicy, tender pears are gently cooked in a cozy blend of maple syrup, agave and warm spices, then crowned with a buttery, almond-studded crisp topping. Each bite offers a perfect contrast of soft, syrupy fruit and golden, flaky crumble, with hints of lemon zest and pumpkin spice that elevate the flavor. Serve it straight from the oven with a dollop of whipped maple cream for a comforting dessert that feels both indulgent and wholesome.
Pear Almond Crisp
Dry Ingredients (Crisp Topping)
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 3/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup sprouted rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1-1/2 tsp. pumpkin spice
- 8 Tbsp. butter (cut into small cubes)
- 1/2 lemon (zested)
Wet Ingredients (Pear Filling)
- 1/4 cup agave nectar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 6 pears (peeled and sliced)
- 2 cinnamon stick
- 2 Tbsp. corn starch or arrowroot
- 1/2 lemon (juiced)
- 1/4 cup water
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Add pears to saucepan with lemon juice, lemon zest, cornstarch, vanilla, salt, 1 Tbsp. butter, agave or maple syrup and 2 cinnamon sticks. Cook 10 minutes on medium heat, then set aside. (Note: Cook pears until juices thicken into a sauce, careful not to overcook them.)
- In medium bowl, add oats, almond flour, sliced almonds, butter, brown sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, salt. Using your hands, combine ingredients into a crumbled texture and set aside.
- Prepare baking pan or dish by buttering or spraying with avocado oil to prevent sticking. Pour semi-cooked pears with their juices, then add toppings to cover pears.
- Bake 30-35 minutes or until golden, depending on your oven.
- Serve with whipped maple cream.
- Use cold butter for a flaky texture. Melted butter makes the topping softer.
