PEAR CRANBERRY SAUCE
We don't care for regular cranberry sauce, so I usually perk it up with other fruit. This pear version is the one my family requests most often. It's sweet, tangy and a beautiful ruby-red color. Since it keeps well in the refrigerator, I often make it in advance.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and more tartness than frozen cranberries.
- Simmer the sauce over low heat. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning and will allow the flavors to meld together.

- Add honey and pears to taste. The amount of honey and pears you add will depend on your personal preference. You can also add other spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger, to taste.
