Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Ripe pears (any variety like Bartlett, Anjou, or Bosc)
Cold water or coconut water (for blending)
Lemon juice (optional, to brighten the flavor and prevent browning)
Honey or maple syrup (optional, if extra sweetness is needed)

Directions

Using a blender:

I wash, core, and chop the pears (no need to peel unless I want an extra smooth juice).
I add them to a blender with a splash of water or coconut water.
I blend until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth for a clear juice.
I stir in lemon juice and taste for sweetness—adding honey or syrup only if needed.
I chill the juice before serving or pour it over ice.

Using a juicer:

I core the pears and feed them through my juicer.
I stir in lemon juice if desired and serve immediately.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 2 servings (about 2 cups).
Prep time: 10 minutes
Juicing/blending time: 5 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes

Variations

I blend pears with apples or grapes for added sweetness and variety.
I add a small piece of ginger for a warm, spicy kick.
I mix in cucumber or mint for a cooling version.
I use sparkling water instead of still for a refreshing pear spritzer.
I include celery or spinach for a green juice variation that’s still mild.

Storage/Reheating

I store pear juice in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 2 days. It may separate slightly—so I stir or shake it before serving. I don’t reheat pear juice, as it’s best served chilled or at room temperature to preserve its fresh flavor and nutrients. Pear Juice Recipe

FAQs

Do I need to peel the pears?

No, I usually leave the skin on, especially if I’m blending and straining. If I want an ultra-smooth juice, I peel them first.

What type of pears work best?

I like Bartlett or Anjou pears because they’re juicy and sweet. As long as the pears are ripe, any variety will work well.

Can I freeze pear juice?

Yes, I freeze it in ice cube trays and use the cubes in smoothies or sparkling water. I avoid freezing in large containers unless leaving space for expansion.

Is pear juice good for digestion?

Yes, pears are high in fiber and gentle on the stomach. I often make this juice when I want something that’s both hydrating and digestive-friendly.

Can I make pear juice without a juicer?

Definitely. I use a blender and strain the mixture for a smooth juice. It’s just as fresh and easy.

Conclusion

Pear Juice is a naturally sweet, refreshing drink that’s easy to make and always feels nourishing. I love its soft, mellow flavor and how versatile it is—great on its own or blended with other fruits and herbs. Whether I’m making it for a calming start to the day or a cool afternoon sip, this juice is a go-to in my kitchen whenever pears are in season.
