Pear Sauce

Pear Sauce

8 ripe pears cored, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon anise seed ground up
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon orange liquor

I found a bag of pears for a reasonable price. I decided to make pear sauce. Peel and core, then dice 8 ripe pears. Add pears and remaining ingredients to a sauce pan. Cook till moisture evaporates to desired consistency. Blend pears or mash with a potato masher. Put in glass mason jars. So easy and delicious. Confession of an errant home chef. I taste tested the pears before blending, they were so good I had a bowl of them chunky style before blending. Don't omit the anise seed, really adds to the sauce.
