2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let the sauce cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears are soft and the mixture has thickened slightly.
3. Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the cooked pears in the saucepan to break them down further and create a smoother consistency.

5. Season the Pear Mustard Sauce with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning levels to suit your preference. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can use an immersion blender to blend the mixture until it reaches your desired texture.
