This is a nice twist on traditional applesauce and can be refrigerated for up to 5 days. Try cooking the fruit unpeeled to add flavor and then pass through a sieve to remove the skins.

  • 2 pounds Fuji apples, cored and cut into wedges
  • 2 pounds red Bartlett pears, cored and cut into wedges
  • 2 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 lemon, cut into 2 pieces
  • 1/4 packed brown sugar

Directions

  1. Combine first 6 ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a boil.
  2. Cover pan, reduce heat, and simmer for 45 minutes or until the fruit is tender.
  3. Dispose of cinnamon sticks and lemon.
  4. Using a spoon, press the fruit mixture through a sieve over a bowl and discard skins.
  5. Stir in brown sugar and serve applesauce at room temperature or chilled.
