The following sauce is a variation on applesauce and can be served on its own or as an accompaniment to meats. Ingredients:
10 small ripe pears (about 3 pounds) |
1 cup pear nectar |
4 dried pear halves, chopped (available at health foods stores and specialty foods shops) |
1/4 cup sugar, or to taste |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1 tablespoon julienne strips peeled fresh ginger |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1 cinnamon stick |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Peel, core, and finely chop fresh pears. In a saucepan simmer fresh pears, nectar, dried pears, sugar, butter, ginger, lemon juice, cinnamon stick, and a pinch of salt until pears are tender, about 25 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in vanilla. Discard cinnamon stick.
2. Force pear mixture through a food mill or ricer, or in a food processor purée to desired consistency.
