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
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.

APPLE-PEAR SAUCE
Applesauce can be bought at the store. Have never seen apple-pear sauce though. Found this on the net a long time ago. Have tried it several times and it always turns out great. When I make a cake I try (where possible) to substitute the fat (butter, margarine or oil) with equal amounts of apple sauce. Since I found this recipe I use the apple-pear sauce too in the substitution of fat.

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.

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.
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.
