APPLE-PEAR SAUCE
Homemade applesauce is way more delicious than anything out of a jar, and the perk is you can eat it warm-when my family likes it best-and jar any leftovers. Making it from scratch allows you to keep it as chunky as you prefer, or puree it completely. I add pear for juice and sweetness, and just a bit of lemon and cinnamon. The trick is to not overcomplicate it with too many spices and overpower that fresh-picked apple taste. We always double and sometimes triple this batch and make extra to share with friends. Any home with a new baby or someone who is healing will appreciate this nurturing homemade simple treat.

Steps:
- Toss together the apples, pears, 1/4 cup water, maple syrup and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in a large pot with a heavy bottom (a Dutch oven works great for this). Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, over low heat, until the fruit are very tender, about 45 minutes or up to 1 hour. Stir in the lemon juice and use a potato masher to smash to your desired consistency. If you like a completely smooth, pureed sauce, use an immersion blender to blend until smooth. Taste and add additional cinnamon to your liking.
- Serve warm, or cool completely and store in sterile jars with tight-fitting lids up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
