Food Editor's Note:
This is a different take on the traditional applesauce. The addition of pears results in a sauce that is mainly pure essence of fruit, with no spices to detract from the apple/pear flavor. Thank you, Judy, for sharing this recipe with ShalomBoston.com. I served it to guests at a large Chanukah dinner party and it was a big hit!

Ingredients

12 apples
2 ripe pears
2 tablespoons sugar or honey
1/4 cup apple juice

Peel, core, and slice the apples and pears. Place in a large pot with the sugar or honey and the apple juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is reduced to a sauce. Let cool, chill in the refrigerator, and serve cold.
