Pearsnip Sauce

📝 Ingredients

• 1 pound parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 pound pears, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
• Pinch kosher salt
• Pinch freshly ground clove
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Place the parsnips, pears, maple syrup, orange zest, orange juice, cardamom, salt, and clove into a microwave-safe, sealable 3- to 4-quart container. Cover with a lid, leaving one corner open to allow steam to escape. Microwave on high until the parsnips and pears are fork-tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
2. 2Add the lemon juice and puree to your desired consistency using an immersion blender. Serve warm or chilled. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
