Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe pear
- 2 tablespoons fresh horseradish root
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and dice the pears into small pieces.
Step 2
Grate the fresh horseradish root using a fine grater. Set aside.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Step 4
Add the diced pears to the saucepan and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears soften and begin to break down.
Step 5
Stir in the grated horseradish, white wine vinegar, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Add 2 tablespoons of water to the mixture, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Step 8
Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. For a chunkier sauce, use a potato masher instead of blending.
Step 9
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Add a little more honey for sweetness or horseradish for an extra kick.
Step 10
Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
