Makes: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 lbs pears (about 6 medium pears), peeled and chopped into chunks
- 3 Tbsp water
- 3 Tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp minced fresh ginger
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower heat to a simmer and cover. Let mixture cook for about 20 minutes, until pears are cooked through and very tender.
- Remove from heat and mash pears with a potato masher or fork. If you want a completely smooth sauce, you can put it in a blender and puree.
- Transfer pear sauce to a bowl and refrigerate until cool. Sauce will thicken a bit as it chills.
- Serve as a side to a pork or sausage dish or as dessert, a snack, or breakfast. I like to serve with a little ground ginger sprinkled over the top.
Notes
- Kept in an airtight container, this pear sauce should keep in your fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freeze in airtight containers or freezer-safe bags for up to 9 months.
