Recipe: Gingered Korean Pear Sauce

This recipe was originally developed as an applesauce substitute to accompany latkes during Hanukkah, but this condiment also can accompany any dish that calls for that sauce.

This recipe originally was published on YouTube as a bonus toward the end of the Korean Latke video four years ago. If you are a visual learner, you can fast-forward to the 4:23 mark to watch me make the recipe for you.
