Ingredients:

  • 4 pears
  • 4 potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste


Directions:

  1. Wash and peel the pears and potatoes. Dice the pears and potatoes.
  2. Place pears, potatoes and butter in a medium saucepan fitted with a fan steamer. Add a small amount of water to the bottom of the pan and steam, covered, on your stovetop until potatoes are tender, about 5-15 minutes, depending on type of potatoes and size of dice. Test to make sure they're tender.
  3. Remove from heat and mix or blend until the texture is smooth.

Note: You can freeze puree in an ice cube tray for later use. After the cubes freeze, store in a freezer-safe container and remove one at a time, as needed.
