PEAR CRANBERRY SAUCE
We don't care for regular cranberry sauce, so I usually perk it up with other fruit. This pear version is the one my family requests most often. It's sweet, tangy and a beautiful ruby-red color. Since it keeps well in the refrigerator, I often make it in advance.

CRANBERRY APPLESAUCE WITH ORANGE AND PEARS
Slightly tart cranberry applesauce, a favorite of my step-daughter and my 16-month-old grandchild. I use orange juice and pears to sweeten the sauce in lieu of granulated sugar. I finish with a small amount of honey -- so small that the pediatrician cleared this for the grandchild at 6 months. I use a 6-1/2 quart Le Creuset pot, and puree to desired consistency in a Vitamix. For the 6-mo.-old, her mom froze this in ice cube trays; today her dad froze this in 1-quart heavy-duty resealable freezer bags. If you prefer a decidedly sweet sauce, add 1/2 cup brown sugar to the orange juice and heat until sugar has dissolved before adding apple slices, etc., or adjust at the end by adding simple syrup to desired sweetness. This mixture will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days.

Steps:
- Put orange juice, orange rind and lemon juice in stockpot or 6-1/2-quart pot.
- Peel, core and slice one apple at a time, adding slices to pot and tossing slices in the liquid (to prevent browning).
- Peel, core and slice one pear at a time, adding slices to pot and tossing slices in the liquid.
- Add cranberries and honey and mix well. Immerse the cinnamon stick in the middle.
- Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer until apples are very soft, about 15-20 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and discard.
- If using a Vitamix, the mixture does not need to cool before pureeing; otherwise, let mixture cool 20 minutes before pureeing in batches to desired consistency.
Tips:
- Choose fresh cranberries. Look for cranberries that are plump and red, with no soft spots or bruises. Fresh cranberries can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a month.
- Use ripe pears. Pears that are ripe will be soft to the touch and have a sweet, fragrant smell. Avoid pears that are hard or have brown spots.
- Make the sauce ahead of time. Cranberry sauce can be made up to 2 weeks in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This makes it a great dish to make for Thanksgiving or other holiday gatherings.
- Serve the sauce warm or cold. Cranberry sauce can be served warm or cold. If you are serving it warm, reheat it gently over low heat until it is just warmed through.
- Use the sauce as a condiment or ingredient. Cranberry sauce is a delicious condiment for roasted turkey, chicken, or pork. It can also be used as an ingredient in pies, cakes, and other desserts.
Conclusion:
Cranberry sauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use fresh cranberries and pears, and it can be made ahead of time, making it a convenient dish for busy weeknights. Whether you serve it warm or cold, as a condiment or an ingredient, cranberry sauce is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
