Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 ripe pears
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon ginger 
 
Ginger gives a bit of bite to this sweet sauce, which is delicious on ice cream, pancakes or gingerbread.
 
Directions
  • Peel, core and chop pears. Melt butter in a saucepan and allow to brown slightly. Watch
    carefully so that it doesn't burn. Add the chopped pears, stir and cook for several minutes.
  • Add water, brown sugar, lemon juice, zest and ginger.  Cover and cook over low heat until
    pears are very soft.
  •  Mash with a fork or purée in a blender. Serve warm or cold.
