How to Make Roasted Pear Sauce
Instead of store-bought apple sauce, try simple, homemade pear sauce! Pears have a milder, sweeter flavor than apples. Roasted the pears before blending them into a sauce caramelizes their natural sugars for an even sweeter flavor.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, toss the pears with melted butter. Pour the pears into a baking dish and roast, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes or until pears are tender, stirring once or twice. Set the cooked pears aside to cool.
- Add the pears back to the large bowl; add the honey and lemon juice. Using an immersion blender or stand up blender, blend the pear mixture until almost smooth. Stir in the walnuts.
