Steps:
- Combine apple juice and 4 tablespoons lemon juice in heavy large deep pot.
- Peel, core, and cut pears, 1 at a time, into 1/2- to 3/4-inch pieces; mix pears into juice mixture in pot as soon as pears are cut, to prevent browning.
- Cook over medium heat until pears release enough juice for mixture to boil, stirring frequently, about 16 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until pears are very tender, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes (mixture will splatter).
- Remove pot from heat.
- Press pear mixture through fine plate of food mill into large bowl.
- Return pear puree to same pot.
- Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice, brown sugar, nutmeg, and 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt.
- Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
