Pear Honey Cranberry Sauce

By: Sue S. 
"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!"

Original Recipe Yield 10 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 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.
