I had a lot of ripe pears so I cooked this dessert twice this week 😂 Simmer 3 diced pears in 2T maple syrup and 1T lemon juice with sticks of fresh ginger for 10 min. Let cool, pick out ginger, serve with vanilla ice cream (and pecan cookie 😉). Recipe from Erin Alderman’s The Easy Veg Kitchen.
Miraz Jordan I like the look of this and have bookmarked… Two questions: no other liquid? Just the maple syrup and lemon juice? What are ‘sticks’ of fresh ginger? Would I just peel some ginger and cut it up julienne style?
Tracy Durnell @devilgate Big T for tablespoon 😀 (sorry, working within the character limit 😉)
Tracy Durnell @Miraz yep, just a small amount of liquid, the fruit is more coated than submerged. The pears release more liquid I think.
I used about 1” of ginger, could do 2”, cut into chunks big enough to pick out. Original calls for the ginger minced and left in, but we found its texture unpleasant.
