This colorful sauce highlights fall fruits. Enjoy as an accompaniment to pork or chicken, or serve as a dessert or after-school snack.

Ingredients

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 to 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
1/2 cup water

Method

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.
