• servings: Serves 8
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 1 hour

Ingredients

12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries

2 medium pears, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch chunks

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup water

2 tablespoons molasses

2 tablespoons orange or lemon juice

2 tablespoon freshly grated ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Combine cranberries, pears, white sugar, water, molasses, orange juice, grated ginger, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until berries start to pop, about 5 minutes. Press berries against side of pan with wooden spoon and continue to cook until berries have broken down and sauce thickens to a jam-like consistency, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and let cool for 30 minutes. Adjust consistency with water as needed. Serve immediately or place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. Can be served cold or reheated.
