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.

This was easy and amazingly delicious. I ended up about 1/2 cup short on orange juice, so I used water. It was still great. Absolutely will make again, but might cut back on the sugar just a bit.

Very good!!! I was so impressed that I could sneak in parsnips without my kids knowing, which isn't easy!! We loved it!

I made this sauce exactly as described; except instead of whole cloves ground, I used powdered clove from a bottle. I wanted a very mild clove flavor and that's why I went that route. The sauce is very delicious, tastes nutritious and fresh. My only small hangup is that the orange is a bit strong, and stays on the palette for quite some time. Next time I will leave out the zest. Pair this sauce with a protein the goes well with a citrus and warm spice flavor.
