This recipe comes from Sue Dengate's 'Fed Up' book and is credited to someone called 'Birgit'. That credit appears many times throughout the book, including a Pear Jam which is available commercially. Which reminds me, I must make that jam again.
Anyway, this is what we use in place of Tomato Sauce.
INGREDIENTS:
* 1 large can of Pears in syrup
* 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
* 1 tsp Citric Acid
* 1 tsp Salt
METHOD:
* Put syrup into TMX bowl and cook until reduced by half 100 degrees, 8-10 minutes, Speed 3
* Dice Pears
* Add all ingredients and cook for 20 minutes on 100 degrees Speed 3
* When pear is thoroughly cooked and soft, puree by slowly going up to Speed 7 for 10 seconds.
* Keeps well in small lots in the freezer, while using one lot in a regular sauce bottle from your fridge
