Pear Snack Cups

I love to have snack cups in the lunches I make for my kids.  But, it just seems so overpriced to buy them.  Even the 29 oz cans are almost $2.  Seriously?  I got these pears for $.69/lb.  Just had to prep them to go into the snack cups.

Used an apple corer to get the seed out and pulled the stem right out.  Peeled the skin off.  
 
Diced the pears & tossed in a large pot with a little bit of water to cover over the top.  Simmered until cooked to desired doneness.  Added a splash of lemon juice and about 1/2 cup to a cup of sugar, depending on preferred sweetness.

Let cool, and portion 1/4-1/2 cup snack cups.
