Autumn “Summer” Pudding

This recipe results from my determination to extend summer pudding into another season. The concept for the two is identical; I have just altered the fruit, as summer’s bounty of berries is no longer available. Apples and pears are cooked until soft and then pureed. The apples are cooked for a while before adding the pears, since apples take longer to soften and release their juices. The salt and lemon juice enhance the flavor of the puree. These fall fruits have lower acidity than berries,
