This Cranberry and Pear Sauce is unlike any you have tried before. You'll never look at store bought sauces again. The bitter sweet tang of the berries with the ginger spice and aromatic rosemary will leave you wishing it was Christmas everyday!
Equipment
Ingredients
12 oz. cranberries fresh
2 pears ripe, peeled and diced
2 tsp ginger root peeled and grated
3 tbsp rosemary leaves fresh, finely diced
3 tbsp maple syrup
¾ cup water
sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Add the 12 oz. cranberries, 2 pears, 2 tsp ginger root, 3 tbsp rosemary leaves, 3 tbsp maple syrup, and ¾ cup water to a medium saucepan. Cook over medium to high heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to boil and the cranberries burst open, approximately 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for another 5-10 minutes. While the mixture is cooking, use a wooden spoon to mash the cranberries and pears. Season with a pinch of sea salt and stir to combine well. Remove the sauce from the heat and allow to cool for 15 to 20 minutes.
- After the sauce has cooled check the consistency. Add a little water if the sauce is too thick. Cook again for 5 minutes if too thin. Taste and add more maple syrup for a sweeter sauce, if desired.
- Serve warm, or you can chill and have it cold. It is delicious either way!
Notes
For a smoother sauce, blend one half of the cranberry mixture in a food processor or blender until smooth. Stir puree back into the remaining sauce before serving.
