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.

CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH PEARS AND CARDAMOM



Cranberry Sauce With Pears and Cardamom image

This sauce is so very different than traditional sauces and is one of my favorites. It was published in a local newspaper along with Grand Marnier Cranberry Sauce with Oranges as suggestions for 'new' sauce ideas, and I've been making them both ever since. Because grocery store pears are rarely ripe when purchased, it is best to buy them a few days ahead so they can sit on the counter and ripen up. Unripe pears just don't work in this recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. The cardamom gives a traditional Thanksgiving meal a touch of the exotic!

Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup frozen cranberry juice concentrate, thawed
1/2 cup sugar
3 cups chopped peeled firm but ripe Bartlett pears (1/3-inch pieces)
1 12-ounce package cranberries
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder

Steps:

  • Combine cranberry juice concentrate and sugar in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and bring to boil. Mix in remaining ingredients. Simmer until pears are tender and cranberries burst, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool completely. Chill thoroughly. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pears: For the best flavor, use ripe but firm pears. Avoid pears that are too soft or bruised.
  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries are best for this recipe. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: Cranberry sauce should be cooked until the cranberries are just softened and the sauce is thickened. Overcooking will make the sauce bitter.
  • Add a little spice: Cardamom is a great way to add a little spice to this recipe. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg, if you like.
  • Serve warm or cold: Cranberry sauce can be served warm or cold. It's delicious on its own, or you can use it as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.

Conclusion:

This cranberry sauce with pears and cardamom is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe. It's perfect for Thanksgiving dinner, but it's also great to enjoy all year round.
