Ingredients

    3 large pears, cored (no need to peel)
    4 large apples, cored (no need to peel)
    2 tbsp maple syrup
    2 tbsp water
    1 tsp sumac
    ¼ tsp nutmeg
    ¼ tsp cardamom
    2 tbsp lemon juice

Directions

In a food processor or with a box grater, grate the fruit coarsely. Transfer to a large pot.
Add the remaining ingredients, cover and simmer over medium heat for 45 minutes, until fruit is completely softened.
With an immersion blender or in the food processor (no need to clean), puree until smooth.
Pour back into the pot and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 1/2 hours - until thick and spreadable.
If canning, stir in the lemon juice, spoon into sterilized jars and process in a waterbath for 30 minutes. If not, cool to room temperature, then scoop into a covered container and refrigerate (up to 2 weeks) or freeze (up to 6 months).
