This one is going on the list to make in the fall! I love just about anything maple.

This looks good! Do you think I could substitute some apples for half of the pears? I only have 3 pears at the moment, and a few apples.
Thanks

MommaBlogger- Sure! I think that would work out just fine. Let me know what you think…

Well my pears turned out to be rotten on the inside, so I had to go with all apples. It’s cooking now, and I’ll let you know how it turns out

This tastes great with apples
It was pretty liquidy though, so I suctioned out some of the extra juices so it wouldn’t get too mushy. The flavor is great though 
Thanks for the recipe
