CHUNKY PEAR AND APPLESAUCE
This is our favorite way to make applesauce. It comes from the book, "Baby Let's Eat" for heatlthy cooking for both baby and family. The pears give it a bit of a crunch, even though we don't leave the chunks. We puree it smooth. And there's no sugar in this recipe. We usu. leave out the mace and it tastes fine.

SPICED APPLE-PEAR SAUCE
The natural sweetness of fresh apples and pears makes this homemade sauce a standout over the store-bought version. Lemon juice adds brightness and keeps the fruit from browning, and cinnamon and nutmeg lend warm spice notes.

Steps:
- Combine the apples, pears, lemon juice, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Taste the mixture and add the remaining tablespoon of sugar if desired.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and stir a few times until the sauce is well combined with small chunks. Cool to room temperature. Remove the cinnamon sticks and serve. (For a smoother sauce, remove from heat, remove the cinnamon sticks and then whisk the mixture until smooth before cooling.)
CHUNKY PEAR APPLESAUCE
Here's a quick way to dress up store-bought applesauce...and it is equally good served as a side dish or a light dessert. Chopped apples and pears add texture, while wine spices up the mixture a bit. The recipe is from Mary Eckles of Kirkwood, Missouri.

APPLE PEAR SAUCE
Pear applesauce? Papplesauce? Appearsauce? When the apple-pear sauce is served warm, you will not need any additional sugar. As it cools it loses some of the natural sweetness, and you might want to add sugar to taste.

SUPER SIMPLE PEAR APPLESAUCE
Apples are okay, but pears are divine. I wanted to figure out how to make a simple pear sauce because I like pears far more than apples. It had to be simple, quick, fresh, and above all else, easy to clean-up. So I decided to experiment and started with the most basic recipe possible. I love the flavor, and you can't get much simpler: 3 pieces of raw fruit, a knife, cutting board, blender, and 2 bowls.

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.
Tips:
- Choose the right pears and apples. For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy pears and apples. Avoid using pears or apples that are hard or mealy.
- Peel and core the pears and apples before cooking. This will help to create a smooth and creamy applesauce.
- Use a variety of spices to flavor the applesauce. Common spices used in applesauce include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. You can also add other spices, such as cardamom, cloves, or allspice.
- Cook the applesauce until it reaches your desired consistency. If you like chunky applesauce, cook it for a shorter amount of time. If you prefer smooth applesauce, cook it for a longer amount of time.
- Serve the applesauce warm or cold. Applesauce can be served as a side dish, a snack, or a dessert. It can also be used as an ingredient in other dishes, such as pies, cakes, and muffins.
Conclusion:
Chunky pear and applesauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover pears and apples, and it is also a healthy and affordable snack or side dish. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious batch of chunky pear and applesauce that your whole family will love.
