Gather your mis en place; get together all of the equipment needed for the recipe and gather your ingredients.

First, use the peeler to peel the pears. 

Cut the pear in half from top to bottom. 

Use a melon baller or a small spoon to scoop out the core, and remove the stem. 

Cut the pear into small 2 centimetre cubes.

To juice the lemon, roll it on a counter to release its juices, then cut in half and squeeze the juice into a bowl, catching any seeds and discarding them.

Place all ingredients into the pot, and put onto high heat until it comes up to a boil. 

Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pears have softened, about 25 – 30 minutes.

For a smooth sauce, use the a stick or wand blender that is submerged in whatever is being blended to do the job. Much easier and cleaner for lots of jobs than a stand blender in my opinion.immersion blender or regular blender to blend the ingredients together until smooth.

For a chunkier sauce, use the potato masher to mash to desired consistency.

Serve with your favourite desserts, mix into yogurt, or enjoy it on its own!
