Slow-Cooked Apple And Pear Sauce

Slow-Cooked Apple And Pear Sauce
4.5 from 2 ratings
Apple sauce is a nutritious addition to potato latkes, which are often served on the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. Instead of buying it from the store, why not give this easy homemade version a try. The addition of pear gives the sauce a rounder taste and allows the sweetness from the apple to mellow out a bit. You will never go back to buying the store bought version!
