Apple sauce...but better! First, it's baked, then mashed to your desired consistency, and spiced with nutmeg and cinnamon candies! Great holiday side dish. Ingredients:
juice from 2 large lemons |
3lbs fresh pears(comice or anjou) |
3lbs apples(macintosh, fuji) |
1/4 cup light brown sugar |
1/2 stick butter |
1/2 cup cinnamon imperial candies(like red hots, not the hard cinnamon disk candies) |
1/2t nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Peel, core and slice fruits
2. Toss in lemon juice.
3. In large dutch over, combine remaining ingredients.
4. Add fruit to pot, and toss.
5. Cover and cook at 350 for 1-1 1/2 hours, until fruits are soft.
6. Run through food mill, sieve, or potato masher until desired consistency.
7. **this can be done in the slow cooker, but will take all day to cook. :) Just follow the recipe, as above, but cook on low for around 8 hours probably, but don't quote me on that..if you try the slow cooker, stay home with it, and let ME know how long it takes! ;)
