Ingredients
- 12 oz Fresh cranberries
- 1 large Ripe pear (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Orange juice
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp Ground ginger
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and set them aside.
Step 2
Peel, core, and dice the ripe pear into small cubes about 1/4 inch in size.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, orange juice, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 4
Add the cranberries, diced pear, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have burst and the mixture begins to thicken.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the cranberry sauce cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Step 7
Transfer the cranberry sauce to a serving dish or an airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving for the best flavor.
Step 8
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or accompaniment to your favorite holiday meals.
