Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 pounds apples
  • 1-1/2 pounds pears
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons honey, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup, or to taste

Instruction

  • Peel, core and chop the apples and pears into 1/2-inch chunks.
  • Place them in a medium-large saucepan. Add the water, lemon juice and cinnamon.
  • Cover and cook over medium-low heat until tender, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the fruit from sticking and/or burning.
  • With a potato masher crush the fruit coarsely while continuing to cook until the excess water evaporates, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and gently stir in the honey and maple syrup. Taste and add more sweetener if desired.
  • Serve lukewarm or cold.
