Love, love, love this cranberry sauce. For years I have made my citrus version that is spectacular, this sauce has fresh pears and toasted walnuts. It's simmered with a cinnamon stick and the toasted walnuts are stirred in at the end. The marriage of flavors is simply perfect!
Ingredients
  • 2 bags of fresh cranberries, picked over
  • 4 ripe pears, peeled and cut into ½ inch pieces
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 tsp of vanilla
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 cup of chopped walnuts, toasted
Instructions
  1. In a large heavy saucepan, add in the cranberries, pears, water, sugar, vanilla, and the cinnamon stick.
  2. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes, until cranberries start to pop and the pears soften, remove from the heat, let cool at room temperature, then stir in the walnuts. Cover and refrigerate.
