Ok, I've decided to have a giveaway.
The rules are simple:
The best suggestion to the question will win an 8oz jar that I will send to you.
The question:
What would you do with an 8oz jar of apple and pear puree'?
Leave your suggestion in the Comments section. Please add your name if you do not have a gmail sign on.
I made some puree' (almost butter) from some produce that I had and I will share a jar with the best suggestion. To be clear, the apples and pear are ONE puree; there are not 2 separate flavors. Also, the only additives that I put in were some spiced apple cider and some lemon juice. There is no added sugar of any sort.
Deadline for suggestions:
6pm Sunday, Nov 1st.

I thought that this sounded interesting.
I did find a recipe where you swirled the Puree in mashed potatoes and turnips? does that get me any points in the "weird" category?
Sweet Cottage Cheese Latkes w/ Apple-Pear Puree Recipe
Jewish Dessert
Ingredients:
For Latke:
1 cup regular or lowfat cottage cheese
3 eggs, separated
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
Pinch salt
Grated zest of 1/2 lemon
1 1/2 cup oil, for frying
For Apple-Pear Puree:
3 ripe Comice or Anjou pears, peeled, cored, and quartered
3 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and quartered
1 1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cup sugar, or to taste
Directions:
Latkes:
Beat cottage cheese, egg yolks, flour, sugar, cream, salt, and lemon zest until smooth. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry and fold into cheese mixture.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, heat oil until hot. Drop 4 tablespoons batter into the pan to form each latke. Fry until golden, about 4 minutes per side. Use more oil for each batch as needed. Drain on paper towels and keep warm in a 250 degree F oven until ready to serve. Serve with Apple-Pear Puree.
Apple-Pear Puree
Place all ingredients in a heavy saucepan. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until fruit is soft and starts to break down, 12 to 14 minutes. Uncover and cook over medium-high heat until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Puree in a food mill or food processor. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Makes about 16
So is this a suggestion for YOU or ME? What would WHO do with the puree?
We'd probably put it on pancakes or french toast, and enjoy the heck out of it.
YOU would do something really creative and delicious. And pick exactly the right wine to go with it.
Did you make one jar, or several? I bet it took lots and lots of apples and pears! I'm impressed!

Doggie Drop Treats
½ cup of apple\pear puree
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup of water
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 cup oatmeal
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/8 cup whole wheat flour
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 ° F (180 ° C).
In a large bowl, combine the minced apple\pear puree , honey, water, cinnamon, and oatmeal. Gradually blend in the wheat flour, adding enough to form a stiff dough.
In a small bowl, add 1/8 cup wheat flour. Spoon the dough by rounded teaspoon onto un-greased baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches (5cm) apart. Using the bottom of a glass dipped in the wheat flour (to prevent sticking), flatten each spoonful of dough into a circle. Adjust the size of the drops based on how big a treat you like to feed your dog.
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and flip each cookie to brown evenly on both sides. Reduce oven temperature to 325 ° F (180 °C). Return to oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes. Let cool overnight.
Makes about 3 dozen crunchy cookies, depending on how big you make them
These sound healthy and yummy !!!
