Ingredients

  • 12 ounces fresh cranberries rinsed and picked through
  • 2 medium pears peeled, cored, and chopped into small dice (I used Bartlett pears)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice*
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1/2 cup port wine
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions 

  • Place the sugar, orange juice, zest, port wine, and ground cinnamon in medium sauce pan. Cook over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Add the cranberries and pear, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat slightly and simmer until the cranberries pop and the mixture thickens, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add the vanilla. Cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator overnight before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Total time above does not include the chilling time for the sauce, which is several hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Refrigerate leftover cranberry sauce in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
