Ingredients:
2 large ‘Golden Delicious’ apples
2 firm pears
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened apple juice
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. allspice
3/4 cup blueberries

4 servings

Peel and core the apples and pears and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Toss in a bowl with the lemon juice and sugar and allow to macerate for 30 minutes.

In a large saucepan or skillet, bring the apple juice, maple syrup, cinnamon, and allspice to a boil. Stir in the apples and pears and their juices and lower heat to a simmer. Poach the fruit, spooning the liquid over the pieces if they are not submerged, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until soft and glazed-looking. Stir in the blueberries.

Serve immediately or allow to cool in the pan, then cover and refrigerate. Serve warm over oatmeal, whole-wheat pancakes, or in a bowl topped with plain or vanilla yogurt.
