Ingredients
2 pounds mixed organic apples such as Fuji, Gala and Honeycrisp, peeled and cored (5med. apples)1 pound organic Bartlett pears, peeled and cored (4 pears) 1/2 Lemon - Juice only or about 2 Tbsp. of lemon juice1/2 cup organic apple juice or cider, or water 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon Or Pumpkin Spice1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
Cut apples and pears into 1-inch chunks. Place in a medium saucepan with juice, cinnamon and ginger. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until fruit is very soft, about 30 minutes. (if you cut fruit smaller, it will cook in about 20 minutes)
Stir in maple syrup and continue to simmer until very thick, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
During the last 15 minutes, stir more frequently to prevent sticking and burning. Mash with a fork or, for a smoother consistency, puree in a food processor. Serve warm or store refrigerated for up to 1 week.
I used a hand blender to puree it down.
Makes a smidge over 3 1/2 cups - serving size is for 2 Tbsp. (56 tbsp.total / by 2 = 28 two Tbsp. servings)
Serving Size: 28 - 2 Tbsp. servings
Number of Servings: 28
