Preparation

Step 1

Peel, core, slice apples and pears. In large saucepan add fruit, wine, sugar and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, cover and cook over med-low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. As fruit softens, mash it coarsely with a potato masher. Continue to cook uncovered until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Discard bay leaf and stir in butter. Refigerate for storage but serve at room temperature.
