STEP 1 Using a saucepan, heat ghee over low heat. Add grated ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds while stirring. Add apples and/or pears, cashews, cloves, cinnamon and cardamom — or swap in 1 tsp of my NECTAR blend instead. Stir and let brown a bit.
STEP 2 Add the water and salt and bring to a simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes or until the apples and pears are tender.
STEP 3 Remove the lid and continue to simmer to thicken the sauce. Serve at room temperature.
