Preparation

  • Step 1

    In a medium saucepan over low heat, gently warm the honey until it begins to bubble, about 5 minutes.

  • Step 2

    Add shallots and celery, stirring for one minute until well incorporated. Add vinegar and stir to combine.

  • Step 3

    Add apples and pears and reduce heat to very low stirring constantly and making sure the mixture does not get too hot. During this time, the fruit will release water. Continue to stir until the water is completely reduced/evaporated about 45-60 minutes. It is important to watch closely and stir often to keep the sugar from burning.

  • Step 4

    When the water has completely disappeared and the mixture is dark and caramelized, add ¾ cup of orange juice and reduce again, mixing and smashing the fruit, about 10 minutes.

  • Step 5

    Remove from heat and stir in remaining ¼ cup orange juice, chopped oregano and 1 tablespoon of fresh horseradish.

  • Step 6

    Transfer to small serving bowl. Garnish with 1 teaspoon fresh horseradish. Serve immediately.
