- 1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
- 1/2 ounce fresh ginger approximately 2 tablespoons; peeled & cut into small chunks
Instructions
- Chop pears in to small chunks, {no need to be precise since the pears will be pureed/blended} and place in medium to large saucepan. Pour orange juice over pears and add chunks of ginger to the pan. Bring to a boil, then place lid on pan and simmer for 30 minutes.

Notes
Serving Suggestions:
Serve this orange ginger pear sauce up straight {warm is extra delicious} or try it mixed in to cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, or oatmeal. Or, for an extra decadent, yet still somewhat healthy treat, mix warm pear sauce into fresh ricotta cheese. Yum!Nutrition
