Ingredients
- 12 ounces Cranberries
- 2 medium Pears (ripe but firm)
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and drain the cranberries. Peel, core, and dice the pears into small pieces.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the honey, orange juice, water, and orange zest. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the honey dissolves.
Step 3
Add the cranberries, diced pears, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Step 5
Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens. Mash the cranberries and pears slightly with the back of a spoon for a chunkier texture, or leave it as-is for a smoother texture.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 7
Transfer the sauce to a serving dish or airtight container. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to one week.
