One serving has 57 kcal. Ready in 205 minutes.
- Preparation: 20 min
- Cooking: 185 min
- Makes: 1 serving (117 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Low carb
Ingredients
- 70 g Apples, raw
- 35 g Pears, raw
- 10 g Water
- 2 g Lemon juice
Method
- Makes about 12 servings (one small jar); this quantity is for the full batch, so divide into portions as needed. Peel, core and chop the apples and pears.
- Put the fruit in a large heavy pot with the water and lemon juice, cover, and cook over low heat for 30-40 minutes until completely soft, mashing occasionally.
- Pass the fruit through a fine sieve or food mill to remove the skins and any grit, keeping just the smooth pulp and juice.
- Return the strained pulp to the pot and simmer very gently, uncovered, stirring often to stop it catching, for 2-3 hours until reduced to a thick, dark, spreadable syrup.
- Pour into a clean jar while hot; it thickens further as it cools. Keep refrigerated and use within a few weeks.
