How To Make Pear Puree

Step 1: Prepare

Peel the pears and cut them into quarters. Remove the core using a sharp knife.

Step 2: Poach

Put the quarters into a saucepan and cover with water. Add the lemon juice, and a little sugar if neccessary. Bring the water to simmering point and poach for around 5 minutes or until the fruit is soft.

Step 3: Puree

Leave the pears to cool in the syrup. When they're cool enough to handle, puree them in a food processor or with a hand-held blender.
