How to Make Pear Sauce With Honey
- Prepare the pears: Peel, halve, core, and cut 2 pounds of ripe pears into 1-inch pieces.
- In a medium saucepan with a lid, combine the pear pieces, 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 1/8 teaspoon coarse salt.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
- Cover and cook until the pears are tender, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Uncover the saucepan and coarsely mash the pears with the back of a spoon or potato masher.
- Continue cooking uncovered, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer the pear mixture to a food processor or blender and blend until completely smooth.
- Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 2-4 tablespoons of honey (to taste). Blend again to combine.
- Serve warm or let cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
