Sweet and Spicy Pear Sauce
This delicious and creative recipe was given to us by our friend Wendy Masterton from the beautiful Boathouse Bed and Breakfast in Comox, Vancouver Island. She treats her guests to such delicious creations with our spices and we couldn’t be happier!This Moroccan-kissed sauce is great with chicken, beef, pork, fish and lamb dishes. Try it with eggs, on avocado toast, on cream cheese and crackers or as a dipping sauce for veggies. Wendy also loves it on a ham and arugula frittata and with stews. Or just enjoy with nothing but a spoon!
