Steps:
- In a non-reactive large saucepan, combine maple syrup, vinegar, ginger, and sea salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Add the pears, cover and cook until crisp tender, about 5 minutes. Add the citrus zests, juices, and cranberries to the pot. Simmer over medium heat, stirring often, until cranberries begin to pop - about 10-15 minutes. Return pear mixture to cranberries and cook for 5 minutes more. At this point you can use an immersion blender to break up the cranberries some or leave them "whole" style. For canning: Pour, while hot, into prepared hot jars, leaving ¼-inch head space. Adjust caps. Process 10 minutes in boiling water bath. Let cool overnight before checking seals. For refrigeration: Transfer to Mason jars and let them come to room temperature before covering and refrigerating.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Choose Ripe Pears: Use ripe pears for the best flavor. They should be slightly soft to the touch, but not mushy.
- Use Fresh Ginger: Fresh ginger has a much more intense flavor than ground ginger. If you can, use fresh ginger for the best results.
- Add Cranberries at the End: Cranberries tend to burst easily, so it's best to add them towards the end of the cooking process to prevent them from becoming too mushy.
- Adjust Sweetness to Taste: The amount of sugar you need will depend on the sweetness of your pears and cranberries. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
Conclusion:
Ginger pear cranberry sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes. It's perfect for Thanksgiving dinner, but it can also be served with grilled pork, chicken, or fish. It's also great on sandwiches, wraps, and salads. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this sauce is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
