Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe pears
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Peel, core, and roughly chop the pears into small chunks.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped pears, pineapple chunks, orange juice, and orange zest.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruits soften and break down.
Using an immersion blender (or transferring the mixture to a countertop blender), blend until smooth. Return to the saucepan if needed.
Add butter, light brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Lower the heat to medium-low and continue to simmer for another 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
