Excellent the sauce has a wonderful flavour. I love the sweetness of the pear juice followed by the bite from the balsamic and the addition of the thyme is excellent. I served mine with carrot rosti and it was simply a wonderful meal, so quick and easy to throw together and would definitely be guest worthy. I did add a bit more garlic than stated but other than that made as and I will definitely making again. Great post mickeydownunder!
