Instructions
Creating Cranberry-Pear Sauce can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by rinsing the cranberries under cold water. Peel, core, and dice the pear.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, diced pear, sugar, water, vanilla extract, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt.
3. Heat Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.
4. Cook: Allow the mixture to come to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Check Consistency: The cranberries will burst, and the sauce will thicken as it cooks. If you prefer a smoother texture, mash the mixture with a fork or potato masher.
6. Cool Down: Remove from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.
7. Store: Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
These steps will guide you in creating this incredible sauce effortlessly.
