APPLE PEAR SAUCE



Apple Pear Sauce image

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 cups red wine
1/2 cup sugar
1 bay leaf
12 ounces diced prunes
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander seeds
1 apple, peeled and diced
1 pear, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 onion, chopped
1/2 celery stalk, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 parsnip, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 quart veal stock
3 tablespoons butter, plus 2 tablespoons
3 tablespoons flour
1 ounce hazelnuts, chopped
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt and white pepper
1 pork tenderloin
1 1/2 cups flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Chutney: Add wine, sugar, and bay leaf to pot and bring to a boil. Add the prunes and coriander and cook until soft. Add apple and pear and cook until soft. Combine cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Whisk in cornstarch and bring to a boil to thicken and remove bay leaf.

  • In a separate saute pan over low heat, add 3 tablespoons butter and melt. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, to make a roux. Cook over low heat until roux is brown, about 15 minutes. Whisk brown roux into the vegetable/stock mixture to thicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes to cook out the flour taste. Season with salt and pepper and strain.

Add heavy cream, salt and white pepper and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve excess brown sauce for another use.
  • Slice tenderloin into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place each slice in between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound to 1/8-inch thick. Season flour with salt and pepper. Dredge the pork in the flour. In a large saute pan, add some of the oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the pork and saute until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Serve with chutney and cream sauce.

APPLE-PEAR SAUCE



Apple-Pear Sauce image

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.

Provided by Sarah Copeland

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 pounds mix of firm, tart apples, such as Honeycrisp or Crispin, and sweet apples, such as Golden Delicious or Cortland (about 10 to 12 large apples), peeled, cored and chopped
2 1/2 pounds juicy Bartlett pears (about 5 large pears), peeled, cored and chopped
2 to 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 to 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

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.

APPLE, PEAR SEARED SCALLOPS SALAD WITH A BRANDY SAUCE



Apple, Pear Seared Scallops Salad With a Brandy Sauce image

This can be as a first course appetizer, but I love to serve this as a salad starter. It is so good and really is a show stopper. The spinach is pan seared for just 1 minute and then topped with the scallops seared and garnished with a brandy cream sauce. Note, the sauce can easily be made ahead of time as well as the apples and pears. Pan searing the spinach as I mentioned and scallops takes only minutes so make sure everything is done and ready to go. To keep the apple, pears and scallops warm, I just put them in a small bowl and cover with foil and set in a 200 degree oven. But it is not a big deal if you don't put them in the oven, just covering them with foil should keep them warm enough. This is a very quick but very elegant dish. I have served this for many holiday dinner and always has rave reviews. It is also on my catering menu and is always very popular. So, don't be scared off by four steps. Two steps are done in advance and the rest is done in just minutes. Just take it step by step. It is not hard.

Time 45m

Yield 8 Salads, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 large shallot, chopped fine
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup brandy
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup apple cider
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 cup granny smith apple (peeled and chopped fine)
1 cup bosc pear (peeled and chopped fine)
1 teaspoon butter
2 tablespoons pecans, chopped fine
1 (7 ounce) bag Baby Spinach
16 large sea scallops
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt (for scallops)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (for scallops)
1/2 teaspoon olive oil (for spinach)
1/4 teaspoon salt (for spinach)
1 pinch ground black pepper (for spinach)

Steps:

  • Brandy Sauce -- I make this first so it is already to go because everything else is so quick. In a small pot add the oil and heat to medium high heat. Saute the shallot and cook just a minute until it softens slightly. Add the brandy (make sure you remove from the burner when you do this) return and then cook just a few seconds. Then add in the cream and boil for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a small bowl. I just keep it at room temperature unless you make it the morning of, then you can refrigerate. But make sure you bring to room temp before you make your scallops.
  • Apples and Pears -- I make these ahead to and just reheat in the micro for just 1 minute. Makes this much easier. In a small sauce pan add the butter and bring to medium high heat. Add the apples and pears and cook 3-5 minutes until soft but NOT mushy. You want them tender. Once soft, add in the pecans and remove to a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
  • Scallops -- Remove from the refrigerator and let them set at room temperature. Just let them come to room temp it won't take long. At this point, make sure you take your sauce and apples out of the refrigerator if you made them earlier that day. You want to make sure they are room temperature.
  • Searing Scallops -- Very Important! Make sure the scallops are dry, pat dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, add the bread crumbs, salt and pepper and dip each side of the scallop lightly in the mixture. Then in large saute pan NON stick heat to medium high to high heat and add the olive oil. Add the scallops (don't over crowd, you want a nice dark brown sear) and cook until nicely brown on each side. They will only take about 2 minutes per side. It may take 2 batches depending on the size of your pan. Remove to a plate and cover with foil as you make the sauce.
  • Part 2 -- After removing the scallops, reduce the heat to medium and add the apple cider and thyme to the pan and scrape up all the bits on the bottom. Boil 1 minute until the cider reduces a bit and all the bits are scraped up. Then add you room temp brandy sauce and bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute and remove from the heat.
  • Spinach, Apples and Pears -- Last components. I just reheat my apples/pears in the microwave for just a minute before plating.
  • And as for the spinach, I just put in a large bowl and toss with a teaspoon of olive oil, salt and pepper. Then toss and cover with plastic wrap and cook 1 minute. You don't want it completely wilted, just lightly sauteed.
  • Plating -- On each plate, add some of the wilted spinach and then a scallop in the middle. Top that scallop with a spoon of the apple, pear, and nut mixture and then another scallop. Put a tooth pic through the top so they don't fall over. Just drizzle with the brandy sauce and serve.
  • Just enjoy this great very unique wonderful appetizer/salad starter course. This served with some grilled steaks or beef tenderloin a potato gratain and some amazing desert makes this a 5 star dinner. A little work for a beginning dish, but it does get noticed.

APPLE-PEAR SAUCE



Apple-Pear Sauce image

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.

CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH APPLE AND PEAR



CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH APPLE AND PEAR image

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Thanksgiving     Apple     Pear

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

• 3 apples, peeled, cored and choppe
• 3 pears, peeled, cored and chopped
• 1 package of frozen or fresh cranberries (12 oz)
• Splash of orange juice (1-2 oz)
• ½-1 Tablespoon maple syrup (or honey on SCD/GAPS)

Steps:

  • Place apples, pears, cranberries, and orange juice in pot. Turn heat to low and simmer for 25 minutes. Once cranberries have popped and sauce is cooked down, add maple syrup to taste. My preference is a sweet-sour blend, not too sweet, just enough maple to take away the strong tart flavor-the amount of sweetener will depend on the type of apples you use, and how you like it. Serve any temperature you like.

Ingredients

The ingredients for apple pear sauce are simple and easy to find. They include:
Apples
Apples are a key ingredient in apple pear sauce. They add natural sweetness and a crisp texture to the sauce. The best apples for apple pear sauce are firm and slightly tart, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
Pears

Apple pear sauce is a versatile and delicious fruit sauce that can add a touch of sweetness and flavor to any dish, whether it is served alongside pork chops, used as a dip for raw vegetables, or as a topping for yogurt or oatmeal. This sauce uses a combination of sweet apples and juicy pears and can be customized to suit your taste preferences. However, to make the best apple pear sauce, there are some valuable tips that you should consider. In this article, we will discuss some of the best tips for making apple pear sauce recipes. Tip #1: Choose the Right Apples and Pears The first and most important tip for making apple pear sauce is to choose the right apples and pears. While most varieties of apples and pears can be used to make this fruit sauce, some are better suited than others. For apple, you can go with sweet varieties like Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji, while for pears, Bartlett, Anjou, or Bosc pears are a good choice. They are juicy and sweet enough to add a natural sweetness and flavor to your sauce. Tip #2: Use Fresh Fruits Fresh fruits are the key to a delicious apple pear sauce. So, make sure to use fresh apples and pears when making your sauce instead of canned or frozen fruits. Fresh fruits not only taste better but also have a better texture, making the sauce smoother and more flavorful. Tip #3: Prepare the Fruits Properly Once you've chosen the right fruit, it's essential to prepare them properly. Start by washing the fruits thoroughly and then peel and core the apples and pears before chopping them into smaller pieces. You can also leave the skin on if you like a bit of texture and color in your sauce. Make sure to remove any seeds or hard parts from the fruits to avoid them from getting into your sauce. Tip #4: Add Some Spice and Flavors While the sweetness of the apples and pears is the star of the show in this sauce, you can add some spices and flavors to take the sauce to the next level. You can add cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves for a bit of warmth and spiciness. Vanilla extract, lemon juice, or orange zest can add a refreshing flavor and brightness to the sauce. Don't overdo the spices and flavors; start with a small amount, and gradually adjust the seasoning to your liking. Tip #5: Cook the Fruits Slowly To make the perfect apple pear sauce, it is recommended to cook the fruits slowly over low heat. Start with a pot, add the chopped fruits, cinnamon stick (if using), and a splash of water or apple juice to prevent the fruits from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Then simmer the fruits over low heat until the fruits are soft, and the liquid has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. Tip #6: Adjust Thickness and Texture One of the best things about making homemade apple pear sauce is that you can adjust the thickness and texture to your liking. If you want a smoother sauce, you can use a hand blender, food processor, or blender to puree the fruits until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier sauce, you can use a potato masher or leave the fruits as is. If the sauce is too thick, you can add more water or apple juice to thin it out. Tip #7: Store the Sauce Correctly Once the sauce is cooked and cooled, it's essential to store it correctly to preserve its flavor and texture. You can store the apple pear sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to three months. If freezing, make sure to label the container with the date and contents to avoid confusion. Conclusion: Making apple pear sauce is a simple and easy process that can be done at home with just a few ingredients.
