Chardewardon (pear sauce)
From: Take a Thousand Eggs or More Vol. 1, p. 159

Ingredients
* 1 large can of pears in their juice, drained
* 1½ cup burgundy wine
* ¼ cup sugar
* 1 tsp cinnamon
* ½ tsp ginger

Directions
* Put the pears and the wine in a pot and simmer gently, covered, until the pears are soft. Remove from heat. Take the pears out of the wine and put them in a large bowl. Mash the pears to a pulp. Pass them through a large-holed sieve or colander with the wine to remove any fibers. Rinse the pot and put the strained pears and wine back into the pot. Add sugar and spices. Let simmer, uncovered, on low heat, stirring occasionally, until volume is halved (about 45 minutes). The final consistency should be about like strained applesauce.

==saffron rice==
Saffron Rice
Serves 8
Total Time: 45 Minutes
URL: http://toriavey.com/toris-kitchen/2011/09/saffron-rice/?recipe_print=yes

Ingredients
* 2 pinches good quality saffron threads (spice)
* 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
* 1 small yellow onion, minced (about 1/2 cup)
* 2 cups white basmati rice
* 3 3/4 cups chicken stock, or substitute water + extra pinch of salt
* 1 tsp salt

Directions
# Take one pinch of saffron threads and put them in a spice mortar. Grind the spice with a pestle to a powdery consistency.
# Add a second pinch of saffron threads to the mortar. Do not crush these threads.
# Pour ¼ cup of hot water into the mortar. Let the saffron soak for 5 minutes. This will open up the flavor of the spice.
# Meanwhile, sort the rice and rinse in a colander. Drain.
# In a large heavy pot, heat extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced onion to the pot and sauté for about 10 minutes., until the onion begins to caramelize.
# Add the rice to the pot and sauté for a minute longer, mixing the rice together with the cooked onion.
# Pour the saffron liquid evenly across the top of the rice, making sure to scrape any saffron that clings to the mortar into the pot.
# Add the broth and salt to the pot. Bring to a boil.
# Cover the pot and reduce heat to low. Let the rice cook for 20 minutes, or until all of the stock is absorbed and the rice is tender.
# Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
