Do you use apples or pears? You’ve got apples in the ingredients but talking pears in directions. Also I don’t see pecans on your list…..how much did you use? Thanks.

Hi Donna,
Our apologies for our mistake. You can use apples or pears, we have made the recipe using both 🙂 My preference is to use apples because I tend to have them on hand more. We have reflected the change in our recipe. Thank you for letting us know 🙂

Thank you for noticing that we had mistakenly missed the mustard in the ingredients. The recipe is now fixed above. Thank you for letting us know 🙂
