Jalapeño Pear Cranberry Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 12 oz fresh cranberries (rinsed)
- 1 pear, chopped
- 2 jalapeños, diced (seeds and stems removed unless you like extra spicy)
- Juice from 1 orange
- 1-2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger (optional)
- 2 cinnamon sticks
Instructions
- Combine the sugar and water in a saucepot. Place the pot on the stove and turn the heat on high. Once the water boils and the sugar dissolves, add the remaining ingredients and bring the mixture back to a boil. Then, turn down the heat so the mixture simmers, then cook, stirring occasionally for 10-15 minutes until most of the cranberries have burst and the mixture thickens.
- Remove the pot from the heat and allow the cranberry sauce to cool to room temperature, before storing in an airtight container. Or, serve it up and eat it!
