Chai Pearsauce



http://schneiderchen.de | © 2013 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




A distinctive homemade pearsauce with chai, an Indian black tea combined with natural spices (cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, pepper). It's delicious over pancakes, waffles, or oatmeal. And you can apply it in the baking to replace some or all of the oil, just the way you would with the applesauce.

  • 10 Ripe pears, peeled, cored and coarsely chopped
  • 5 g Chai
  • 100 ml Water
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  1. Fill a tea filter with chai leaves. Combine pears, chai, water, and lemon juice in a large saucepan. Bring it to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until pears are cooked down to your desired consistency.
  2. Discard chai. Use an immersion blender to process the softened pears until smooth. If you prefer a chunky pear sauce, mash with back of fork or a potato masher. Return the chai to the pureed pear sauce.
  3. Spoon the pearsauce into sterilized jars. Wipe rims clean and seal jars. Cool pear sauce on wire rack to room temperature. Store in refrigerator. Use within 3 weeks.

So simple and perfect for fall Angie! I always thought it strange that there was so much hype about applesauce and not pear.

What a wonderful use for pears. I love the warming flavor of chai. You had a terrific idea to add it to this sauce. It would be wonderful topping Greek yogurt.

Ooh Angie, what a fab idea to use chai as a flavouring in this sauce. I've never made pear sauce, but think I might try this next time I make apple sauce - sounds delicious.

What a great idea! I have to try this Angie, and the flavours sound so perfect too... chai is ideal for fall. My sons love apple sauce but strangely, I have not made pear sauce. Thank you for the inspiration.

Cooking Rookie 21/11/13 07:04

This is how I make applesauce, except that has apples and I don't add anything. Love the touch of adding Chai. And now I also learned a fancy name that makes this simple treat sound much fancier: I will call my applesauce "applesuance" from now on ;-)
