This should be made in the fall, when the pears are super-ripe and the apples inexpensive and crisply fresh. The walnuts and Calvados do a lot for the final taste.
Put the apples and pears in a large sauté pan, add the lemon juice and sugar, and mix well. Let stand only 30 minutes. Add the water. Bring to a boil and turn down to a slow simmer. Cook until thick, approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. Add the walnut halves as soon as you turn the heat off. Immediately ladle into sterilized baby food jars; seal with paraffin and the jar lids.
