I have no idea where I found this recipe, but pears and ginger make a good marriage and this is no exception. A pleasant change from the usual lemon sauce or applesauce for topping gingerbread. Enjoy. Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup water |
1 strip lemon peel (3 inch piece) |
4 ripe pears, peeled, cored and sliced |
2 tablespoons slivered crystallized ginger |
Directions:
1. Combine sugar, water and lemon peel.
2. Cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring.
3. Stir in pears.
4. Cover and simmer until very tender (about 20 minutes).
5. Remove lemon peel and puree this mixture.
6. Stir in ginger.
