Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cranberry Pear Sauce with Orange and Honey.
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, pour in the vibrant orange juice and sprinkle in the white sugar.
Step 2
Gently heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely, creating a sweet base.
Step 3
Next, introduce the fresh cranberries to the mix and let them simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes, watching as they burst and soften, releasing their tart essence.
Step 4
Once the cranberries are ready, stir in the diced pears, a drizzle of honey, and the aromatic cinnamon sticks.
Step 5
Allow this delightful concoction to cook for an additional 10 minutes, letting the flavors harmonize beautifully.
Step 6
When the sauce reaches your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and transfer it to a bowl.
Step 7
Remember, the cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools, so don’t worry if it seems a bit runny at first.
Step 8
Before serving, be sure to fish out the cinnamon sticks for a smooth finish.
Step 9
For an extra touch, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg for a unique twist that will elevate your dish.

Enjoy this festive sauce as a perfect complement to your holiday meals!.
