Ingredients

▢ 1 (12 oz) bag fresh cranberries (you can also use frozen)
▢ 1 whole pear (peel and core)
▢ ½ cup orange juice
▢ ½ cup sugar
▢ 1 teaspoon cinnamon
▢ 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

Rinse the cranberries and remove any damaged cranberries. The pear should then be peeled and cored before being diced to the desired size. I prefer mine to be slightly larger.
Place the cranberries, pears, orange juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan. Then stir in the sugar until well combined.
Bring to a boil over high heat in a saucepan. Then, to balance the flavors, add a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until most of the cranberries have burst. This is when you begin to hear the popping sound.
Sprinkle a pinch of orange zest over the cranberries once they've burst for a nice kick.
Take the pot off the heat. Allow the sauce to cool completely before transferring it to a container with a tight-fitting lid. Don't worry if you notice the sauce isn't thick enough. The cranberry sauce will thicken further as it cools in the refrigerator.
