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.
|
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Chai flavors with pears goes so well. Lovely :)
ReplyDeleteI love the flavor of this! You certainly don't see a lot of pearsauce in the store, especially with chai. Delicious Angie! :)
ReplyDeleteExquisite!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Rosa
I reckon I could eat this all on it's own Angie. What a brilliant sauce!
ReplyDelete:-) Mandy xo
Think I'd like this to be spread on a slice of toast.....some new taste!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos, Angie, and your pear sauce must be fantastic
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really delicious! I can think of so many ways to use it, too.
ReplyDeleteExcelente sugestão!

So simple and perfect for fall Angie! I always thought it strange that there was so much hype about applesauce and not pear.
ReplyDeleteI would like it spread on my toast for breakfast. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI definitely do not use pears enough. I've been meaning to recreate this pear bread that I had a few weeks ago and this would be perfect in it!
ReplyDeleteA delicious sauce! Beautiful pictures as always!
ReplyDeleteKisses!
This is a MUST try!
ReplyDeleteAngie, I love the warming spiciness of chai. What a nice addition this would make to oatmeal or on top of some pancakes!

ReplyDeleteMy Kelly just loved Chai and I bet this is just the best thing ever. I make lots of applesauce, but will now make the Pear Sauce. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe, XOXO
ReplyDeleteLove the combination of pear and chai! I would love to try baking with this pearsauce!
ReplyDeleteThis is the second homemade pear sauce I've seen this week! It's a sign--I need to make it ASAP :)
ReplyDeleteHi Angie, very interesting, look so delicious. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
What a cool idea, Angie!
ReplyDeletePears and Chai - sounds like a match made in culinary heaven.
Oooo this sounds incredible, Angie! I've gotta make this soon!
ReplyDeleteI've never had anything like this, it sounds amazing, Angie!

ReplyDeletethis must taste awesome
ReplyDeleteAngie , this sauce sounds interesting ! Haven't seen chai yet or maybe I haven't looked hard enough lol

ReplyDeletebeautiful combinations.
ReplyDeletelovely presentation!
MMmmm. I want some. Xx

ReplyDeleteDelicious! I'm going to make that! Lovely photos too.
ReplyDeleteI love pears...this sounds delicious with the chai flavor!
ReplyDeletePerfect sauce!
ReplyDeleteApplesauce is so common, and I wonder why we don't see pear sauce more often. Your version with chai looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful pear sauce! I love the addition of the chai!
ReplyDeleteI love applesauce, but I am thinking a pear sauce with these flavors would rock! Adding the chai would give the sauce some much love, what a fun addition! Hugs, Terra
ReplyDeletei love chai cheese cake and i guess ilove your pearsauce with chai flavour even more...
ReplyDeletewell done Anggie!
Great idea. I never thought about pears enough. I've been enjoying them right now since they're in season and I love learning all these ways to cook and bake with it.
ReplyDeleteA great idea. I've made applesauce but never pear sauce. I am definitely going to try it soon.
ReplyDelete@Koko
ReplyDeleteI just went to the supermarket and double checked the type of pears..they are called Alexander Lucas, a local produce.
Love the Chai flavor here and bet they taste amazing :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent flavor combo. I love the spiciness of chai with lots of things. Great post.
ReplyDeletePears are one of my favorite things about the fall. Your sauce looks absolutely delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love chai - it sounds perfect in this pear sauce Angie! I would love a bowl for dessert!
ReplyDeletei would never eat regular applesauce again if this was in my fridge--what a great combination!
ReplyDeleteOoh 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a wonderful sauce! Love pears and chai tea and the combination sounds quite tasty. I bet pears poached in Chai tea is quite tasty as well. Love this! Thanks Angie!
ReplyDeleteThis sauce must be fantastic, an excellent idea ! :)
ReplyDeleteCheers,
I come just back from my Sea side Holiday & look what I have missed: your tasty recipes! This easy peasy to make chai pear sauce looks smashing, Angie! Beautiful too! xxx
ReplyDeleteI want the whole jar NOW! =D
ReplyDeleteNever thought chai and pears would go together, this looks awesome Angie..
ReplyDeleteThis 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 ;-)
