It was a fine autumn weekend and I wanted my dinner to be inspired by the beauty around me, the trees are just starting to turn color, the sky is blue and there is a slight coolness in the air. I had to look no further than my fruit bowl to come up with this twist on applesauce, using pears instead! This is a real easy recipe with the end result a sweet and delicious sauce. The sauce is sweet from the nature sugar in the peats and requires little sugar to make. The sauce is a perfect alone or as a complement to pork or poultry. It also makes a great breakfast on top or waffles, pancakes or with some yogurt and granola, Enjoy!
From by the bay wishing you autumn pear food memories!
