Ingredients
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- Zest and juice of 1 orange
- 12 oz. fresh cranberries (3 cups )
- 2 ripe barlett or d'anjou pears (peeled and chopped)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the water, sugar, orange zest, and orange juice. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved.
- Add cranberries and pears, return to a boil, then lower heat so it maintains a gentle boil. Continue to cook until cranberries pop and pears are softened, stirring occasionally, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Allow to cool then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, at least four hours or up to five days. Sauce will thicken as it cools.
Notes
- Leftover cranberry sauce should be stored in the fridge in an airtight container. It will last 1-2 weeks.
- To freeze cranberry sauce, allow it to cool, then place in a freezer safe zip lock bag, squeeze out excess air, and seal. Freeze flat. Thaw overnight in the fridge then stir well before serving.
