    Method: 

    Cut apples and pears into 1-inch chunks. Place in a medium saucepan with juice, cinnamon and ginger. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until fruit is very soft, about 30 minutes. Stir in maple syrup and continue to simmer until very thick, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. During the last 15 minutes, stir more frequently to prevent sticking and burning. Mash with a fork or, for a smoother consistency, puree in a food processor. Serve warm or store refrigerated for up to 1 week.
