Since my family can not get enough honeycrisp apples while they are in season this recipe from Self Proclaimed Foodie caught my attention. I used my prized Tahitian vanilla beans. The house smelt amazing while it was cooking. It is so very delicious. So sweet you wont believe its made with no added sugar. The speckles of vanilla throughout makes it beautiful to look at too. I think tomorrow Ill be doing the same thing but with a lots of extremely ripe bartlett pears I have screaming to be transformed into something in a jar! Adding a bit of ginger to the pears might be a good idea too. Ive included a cock pot option below. I did mine in a pot on the stove. I use a food mill, so I just quarter the fruit and throw it in the pot. Skins, seeds, stems and all.
