Pear sauce with a bite...


This sauce is great with roast chicken, leg of lamb and pork roast. My gran always used to make pear sauce for Christmas lunch but I never liked it. It was only after she passed away that I made it myself and actually tried it on gammon and chicken. She just always made her pear sauce without the chilli!

Preperation time: 15 minutes
Serves: approx 7-8

Ingredients:
4-5 pears peeled and cut into cubes
40g butter or margarine
pinch of chilli powder
pinch of cinnamon
3 tbsp brandy (recipe says Calvados, but normal brandy is fine)
5ml lemon juice
300m vegetable stock

Method:
Fry the pears in butter or margarine until soft.
Add chilli, cinnamon, lemon juice and brandy and cook for approx 5 mins.
Blend until smooth and add to vegetable stock in a saucepan.
Heat for approx 5 mins and serve hot!

Enjoy, till later...
