Ingredients:

Serving

3 lbs parsnips, peeled and roughly chopped into 1-inch lengths
4 cups milk
kosher salt
fresh ground white pepper
6 pears, ripe, cored, and quartered
8 tbsp butter, cut in 1/2-inch dice
1 tbsp honey or 1 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup water

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the parsnips in a medium pot, add the milk, salt, and pepper, bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes, or until the parsnips are tender.
Remove the parsnips from the milk and set aside.
Transfer the pears to a small roasting pan. Add half the diced butter, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle the honey on top.
Add the water to the pears, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pears are fully cooked and very tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.
Add the pears and any remaining liquid to the parsnips, and purée the mixture with a hand blender, a food processor, or a ricer. If the mixture seems too thick, add a little of the hot milk mixture.
Add the remaining butter, and adjust seasoning.
