GINGER PEAR CRANBERRY SAUCE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Ginger Pear Cranberry Sauce Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by erinstargirl

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup organic maple syrup
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 ounces fresh organic ginger, grated
1/4 tsp Himalayan sea salt
3 organic firm pears, sprialized or sliced thin
zest of 1 organic lemon
juice of 2 organic lemons
zest and juice of 1 organic orange
20 ounces fresh organic cranberries, picked over

Steps:

  • In a non-reactive large saucepan, combine maple syrup, vinegar, ginger, and sea salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Add the pears, cover and cook until crisp tender, about 5 minutes. Add the citrus zests, juices, and cranberries to the pot. Simmer over medium heat, stirring often, until cranberries begin to pop - about 10-15 minutes. Return pear mixture to cranberries and cook for 5 minutes more. At this point you can use an immersion blender to break up the cranberries some or leave them "whole" style. For canning: Pour, while hot, into prepared hot jars, leaving ¼-inch head space. Adjust caps. Process 10 minutes in boiling water bath. Let cool overnight before checking seals. For refrigeration: Transfer to Mason jars and let them come to room temperature before covering and refrigerating.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, wash and chop your fruits and vegetables, measure out your spices, and gather any other ingredients you'll need.
  • Use ripe fruit: Ripe fruit will be sweeter and more flavorful, resulting in a better-tasting sauce.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: Overcooking can make the sauce too thick and syrupy. Cook it just until the fruit is softened and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Taste the sauce as you go: Adjust the sweetness and tartness of the sauce to your liking by adding more sugar or lemon juice as needed.
  • Let the sauce cool before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken up a bit more.

Conclusion:

This versatile sauce is perfect for serving with pork, chicken, or turkey. It can also be used as a glaze for grilled or roasted vegetables. With its bright and tangy flavor, this ginger pear cranberry sauce is sure to be a hit at your next holiday gathering. Give this recipe a try and let us know how it turns out!
