Pear Honey Cranberry Sauce

"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!"

***Just an update to urge you to try this recipe. I always add more pears and also cook it at least 15-20 minutes to pop all the cranberries, thicken it, and to bring out the beautiful color. It is the perfect cranberry sauce and one of my favorite recipes from this site!***Thanks to mail order Christmas gifts, I always have an abundance of pears in the dead of winter. I found this on Allrecipes 2 years ago and it is a perfect combo of pears and cranberries. I have made it for holiday dinners and never get tired of it. It is so simple and so good. Thanks Sue!

My husband is a devoted cranberry sauce fan and boy did he LOVE this recipe. I've brought it to our large family Thanksgiving feast 2 years running now and everybody comments that it is the best they've ever had. Try it out (I make it exactly to recipe) you won't be disappointed. :)

Loved this sauce! I didn't think I would like the honey but it went so well with the pears. I am ashamed to admit I was eating this by the spoonful. Thank you for sharing.

I made this sauce as well as another one from this site (Blue Cranberry Sauce) for Thanksgiving this year. They were both a big hit. I preferred the other recipe but many people thought this was the better one. For me the honey flavor was a bit overpowering so when I make again I think I will try cutting the honey to 1/2 cup and increasing sugar to 1 cup to balance the flavors a bit. I recommend making it at least a day or two before you plan on serving it so the flavors can blend and it will be a nice consistency. I made it on a Tuesday and it was perfect on Thursday for Thanksgiving. You'll need to simmer the cranberries for about 15 minutes, not 5 as stated in the recipe.

Holy Cow! This recipe is simply divine! The flavors blend so beautifully together, creating a new twist on an old favorite. My husband loved it. He tried it along with another recipe and preferred this one hands down. I used Splenda instead of sugar and no one noticed. I used canned light pears instead of fresh and cooked the cranberries longer than recommended.... about 15 minutes. After refrigerating for a couple of hours it took on a jellied consistency that rivaled the canned version (which I love) but the flavor was far superior to any canned variety. This recipe is a keeper. I will be making it again at Christmas! Thanks!!!!

This sauce is simply lovely and such a nice change of pace. Like others, I've cooked it longer (15-20 min) and sometimes replaced the water with OJ. Either way, it's great.

We really enjoyed this cranberry sauce for our Christmas Day dinner. Had several comments from guests who do not ordinarily like cranberry sauce, but had a taste of this and came back for more. The only change I made was to sub orange juice for the water, and I cooked it for about 15-20 minutes until the pears were cooked through and the cranberries had popped and were blended in well. Thank you, Sue!

Love this! I added a tbp. of Grand Marnier & used orange zest & juice. I did as GrannyLouHoo & cooked for just a bit longer to get the cranberries good & cooked. Loved the pear flavor! I think it helps cut through the tartness of the cranberries. I'll copy Granny & put this in a pretty crystal bowl only I'll garnish it w/ some orange zest. Thansk Sue!

My first try at homemade cranberry sauce this Thanksgiving and it was amazing - I'll never go back to canned. The consistency of mine was somewhere between a jelly and a whole berry sauce - the best of both worlds.
