CranPeary Sauce (Cranberry and Pear Sauce)
Jump to recipe
Cranberry sauce is a staple on Thanksgiving dinner tables in the United States and it is served with Christmas dinner in Canada and the United Kingdom. While Americans prefer a sweeter preparation, outside of the US, it is a more tart side dish. I like mine in between, not cloyingly sweet and not too tart (and never, ever, ever out of a can). Cranberry sauce is one of the easiest things to make from scratch for the holidays and it is easily made a day or two in advance.
This recipe uses pears to bring a more delicate flavor and natural sweetness, and has less sugar than many recipes. This is one of my two favorite recipes for cranberry sauce.
