Cranberry Sauce Recipe

This really is an easy recipe and very tasty.  It needs to be made ahead of time so it has plenty of time to cool and then chill in the refrigerator.

Ingredients
16 oz. cranberries fresh or frozen (I used fresh)
1 Bartlett pear, peeled and diced
¼ cup water or apple juice (I used apple juice)
¼ tsp. dried orange peel
tsp. ground cloves
¼ cup maple syrup, grade B
*½ packet gelatin


Directions / Method 
For lumpy sauce: 
1. Over medium heat in a medium sauce pan heat berries, diced pear and water. Stir to combine. 
2. Whisk orange peel and cloves into a ¼ cup maple syrup, but do not add until berries begin to burst open and pear softens. 
3. Continue to stir pot frequently.   


4. Once berries begin to burst open and the pear softens, stir in maple syrup mixture
5. Simmer for 10-15 mins, let cool and transfer to serving dish then chill until ready to serve.
 
*For smooth sauce:
Follow steps 1-4 above:
5. While sauce is still hot, add in a packet of unflavored gelatin and puree using food processor or immersion blender (I used a food processor).
6. Let cool and transfer to serving dish and chill until ready to serve.
