Steps:
- Combine the apples, pears, lemon juice, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the apples and pears are very soft but still a bit chunky, 15 to 20 minutes. Taste the mixture and add the remaining tablespoon of sugar if desired.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and stir a few times until the sauce is well combined with small chunks. Cool to room temperature. Remove the cinnamon sticks and serve. (For a smoother sauce, remove from heat, remove the cinnamon sticks and then whisk the mixture until smooth before cooling.)
GINGER-PEAR SAUCE
Steps:
- Combine the pears, ginger and sugar in a large pot over low heat, stirring frequently until the sugar melts and the pear juices begin to accumulate. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until pears are soft, about 45 minutes. Pass the pear mixture through a food mill and place in a clean saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until reduced to 8 cups, about 1 hour. Refrigerate in an airtight container.

SUPER SIMPLE PEAR APPLESAUCE
Apples are okay, but pears are divine. I wanted to figure out how to make a simple pear sauce because I like pears far more than apples. It had to be simple, quick, fresh, and above all else, easy to clean-up. So I decided to experiment and started with the most basic recipe possible. I love the flavor, and you can't get much simpler: 3 pieces of raw fruit, a knife, cutting board, blender, and 2 bowls.

APPLE PEAR SAUCE
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.
