MAKES 2 SERVINGS
1 large apple, peeled, cored and cut in 1-inch wedges 1 large ripe pear, peeled, cored and cut in 1-inch wedges 3 tablespoons dried 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 3 tablespoons honey ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
cranberries
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter baking pan that will hold prepared fruit in overlapping layer (8½-by-4½ loaf pan works well). Add apples, pears, cranberries, lemon juice, honey and vanilla; mix well. Bake, stirring once, until fruit is tender when pierced (very ripe fruit can be tender in 30 minutes; firmer fruit requires 60 minutes). Remove from oven, and sprinkle with toasted walnuts. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
Note: Recipe can be tripled; substitute an 8-cup oval gratin baking dish for loaf pan.
