Ingredients

  • 4 lbs. apples, any variety or a combination
  • 4 lbs. pears, any variety or a combination

Directions

  • Wash but do not peel or core the fruit. Cut it into quarters.
  • Place all the fruit in a large slow cooker. Cook on low overnight or at least 10 hours.
  • Drain and press the fruit. I did this in batches using a cheesecloth lined colander over a large bowl.
  • Pour the juice into a medium sized saucepan. Boil gently, stirring occasionally until syrup is dark and thick, 20 to 40 minutes.
  • Pour syrup into a clean jar. Cover and store in the refrigerator.

Luckily I live in an area that grows lots and lots of apple varieties. I don’t have any apple trees myself, but always have a plethora of options at the Farmer’s Market. And if I am willing to purchase apples with scars and a few bruises I can get them for around fifty cents per pound.

It’s hard to turn down this great offer, so I often go home with 25 pounds of apples. Then reality sets in: “I have to process all these apples!”

Over the years, I have dried apples, made applesauce, cooked with apples – a lot – and even canned the occasional jar of apple-plum jelly. But this year I solved the too many apples problem once and for all. I made Boiled Apple-Pear Syrup.
