Cranberry Pear Sauce with Rosemary and Ginger

If you think cranberry sauce only comes from a can, you’re in for a real treat!

My cranberry pear sauce is easy to make – but boy will your family be impressed when you say you made it from scratch.

This healthy, sugar-free recipe for cranberry sauce is sure to be a hit this holiday season!

Ingredients for Sauce:

  • 12 oz. fresh cranberries
  • 2 medium ripe pears, peeled and diced
  • 2 t. fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 3 T. fresh rosemary leaves, finely diced
  • 3 T. real maple syrup
  • 3⁄4 c. water
  • Sea salt, to taste

Cranberry Pear Sauce Directions:

Step 1: Add cranberries, pear, ginger, rosemary leaves, maple syrup, and water to a medium saucepan.

Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to boil and the cranberries burst open, approximately 5 minutes.

Step 2: Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for another 5-10 minutes.

While cooking, mash the cranberries and pears with a wooden spoon.

Season with a pinch of sea salt and stir to combine.

Step 3: Remove from heat and allow sauce to cool for 15-20 minutes before checking the consistency.

Add a little water if the sauce is too thick.

Taste and add more maple syrup for a sweeter sauce, if desired.

Optional: For a smoother sauce, blend one-half of the cranberry mixture in a food processor or blender until smooth.

Stir puree back into the remaining sauce before serving.

Step 4: Serve immediately or chill before serving. Enjoy!
