How to Make Chunky Pear And Applesauce

  1. Peel, core, and chop 2 large pears and 4 large apples.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the chopped pears and apples with 1/4 cup of water.
  3. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer.
  4. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, or until the fruit is very soft.
  5. Carefully transfer the cooked fruit to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. (You can leave some small chunks for added texture if desired!)
  6. Taste and add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
  7. Cool completely before refrigerating for up to 5 days or freezing in ice cube trays for longer storage. Store frozen cubes in a freezer bag for easy portioning.
