SUPER SIMPLE PEAR APPLESAUCE



Super Simple Pear Applesauce image

Apples are okay, but pears are divine. I wanted to figure out how to make a simple pear sauce because I like pears far more than apples. It had to be simple, quick, fresh, and above all else, easy to clean-up. So I decided to experiment and started with the most basic recipe possible. I love the flavor, and you can't get much simpler: 3 pieces of raw fruit, a knife, cutting board, blender, and 2 bowls.

APPLE PEAR SAUCE



Apple Pear Sauce image

Pear applesauce? Papplesauce? Appearsauce? When the apple-pear sauce is served warm, you will not need any additional sugar. As it cools it loses some of the natural sweetness, and you might want to add sugar to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pears: Use ripe, juicy pears for the best flavor. Bosc or Anjou pears are good choices.
  • Peel and core the pears: Before cooking, peel and core the pears. This will help the applesauce have a smooth texture.
  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger adds a zesty flavor to the applesauce. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use ground ginger, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Add spices: Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice can be added to the applesauce for extra flavor.
  • Simmer until thickened: Simmer the applesauce until it has thickened. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve warm or cold: Applesauce can be served warm or cold. It's a great addition to breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Conclusion:

Pear and ginger applesauce is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. It's perfect for a fall meal, and it can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this applesauce is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
