(recipe from Whole Foods Market)
4 small red-skinned apples, cored and cut into eighths
4 ripe Bartlett pears, cored and cut into eighths
1 thick slice lemon
1 cinnamon stick
4 whole cloves
1 Tbsp. minced fresh ginger root
1/2 cup water
Place apples, pears, lemon, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and water in a large soup pot and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat. Simmer, stirring often, until apples are completely tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove lemon, cinnamon stick, and whole cloves. Let sauce cool slightly. Transfer to a blender and puree until as smooth as desired. Serve warm, room temperature, or cold. Store in the refrigerator.
(This is delicious! The pears and lemon give it real zing. I actually used a mulling spice mix, which I ground up, in place of the spices. I also left the whole slice of lemon in when I pureed it. I really liked the bits of clove, cinnamon, and citrus peel in the final product.)
