Pear Honey Cranberry Sauce

SUBMITTED BY: Sue S.  PHOTO BY: SALSERA2984 

"Refreshingly sweet, tart and tangy - this recipe is incredibly easy and it's a great change of pace from the usual boring cranberry sauce. The flavor of the cranberries mingles wonderfully with the pear, honey and lemon. It freezes well too!"

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 pears - peeled, cored and diced
  • 1 (12 ounce) package fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a medium saucepan, stir together the water and sugar over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Stir in pears, and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring frequently for 3 minutes, then stir in cranberries and honey. Continue to cook until cranberries pop and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest. Cool to room temperature, then store covered in the refrigerator for up to one week.
