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.

Provided by Food Network

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.
  • Cream Sauce: Saute the onion, celery, carrots, and parsnip until soft, then add tomato paste and saute, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the tomato paste. Add veal stock and reduce by half.
  • 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.
  • In another saute pan, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter and saute hazelnuts for a few minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the sauce and the orange juice and bring to a boil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. 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.

PEAR APPLE SAUCE



Pear Apple Sauce image

Categories     Sauce     Fruit     Thanksgiving     Apple     Pear     Parade

Yield Makes 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 Anjou or Comice pears (slightly underripe), peeled and cut into large pieces
4 apples (a combination of Granny Smith, McIntosh, and Golden Delicious)
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup apple juice
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • 1. Core, peel, and cut the pears and apples into large chunks. In a large, heavy pot, toss with lemon juice to prevent discoloration.
  • 2. Combine the pears and apples with the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, for 15 minutes or until the fruit is tender but not mushy.
  • 3. Uncover the pot, stir and cook 5 minutes more. Adjust the flavors and remove from heat, stirring carefully so as not to break up the fruit too much. Cool to room temperature. Refrigerate, covered, for up to 4 days.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful pears and apples: This will ensure that your sauce has the best flavor. Avoid using pears or apples that are bruised or have brown spots.
  • Peel and core the pears and apples: This will make the sauce smoother and easier to eat. If you don't have a corer, you can use a knife to remove the cores.
  • Use a variety of spices to flavor the sauce: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all classic choices, but you can also experiment with other spices like cardamom, cloves, or allspice.
  • Cook the sauce over low heat: This will help to prevent the sauce from burning and will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Taste the sauce as it cooks and adjust the seasonings as needed: You may want to add more sugar or spices, depending on your personal preference.

Conclusion:

Pear apple sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for topping pancakes, waffles, or ice cream, or as a side dish for pork chops or chicken. It's also a great way to use up ripe pears and apples. So next time you have some extra fruit on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
