Ingredients

1 pound parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound pears, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
Pinch kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground clove
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions

Place the parsnips, pears, maple syrup, orange zest, orange juice, cardamom, salt, and clove into a microwave safe, sealable 3 to 4 quart container. Cover with a lid, leaving one corner open to allow steam to escape. Microwave on high for 10 to 15 minutes or until the parsnips and pears are fork tender.

Add the lemon juice and puree to your desired consistency using an immersion blender. Serve warm or chilled. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, refrigerated.

Yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Easy and absolutely fantastic! I would make this again any time. The clove and cardamom were a little too strong for my... kids (1 and 3 years) so next time I'll either leave those out or cut them down. For adults, though, I'd follow the recipe exactly - it's a lovely, sophisticated fruit sauce.Read more

Fabulous Side Dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We made this pearsnip sauce but were unable to find pears...go figure...so we purchased golden delicious apples and continued... with the recipe verbatim. WOW what a great side dish...we are serving it with the Molasses Coffee Marinated Pork and have substituted chops for loin...more on how the loin turns out! Easy, easy, easy and totally delicious!Read more
