Pear Sauce (like applesauce but with pears)

10 Pears, peeled, cored, and cut into cubes
red hots or cinnamon to taste
water

In a crock pot put in all the pears and about a cup of water.  If using cinnamon sprinkle the pears with cinnamon and bake on low for about 3-4 hours.  Take out some of the water after it has cooked add the red hots if using these instead of cinnamon and let it cook for about 1-2 hours more, or until the pears are soft enough to mash.  Once cooked remove some of the excess water if the sauce is really watery.  Mash the pears and refrigerate.  This mix will last about a week in the fridge, or you can freeze some of it for about 3 months.
