Ingredients

  • 12 oz cranberries 
  • 2 ripe pears, peeled/cored/cubed small 
  • ½ cup honey 
  • ½ cup port wine 
  • ¼ cup Grand Marnier 
  • ¼ cup water 
  • 2 thin slices fresh ginger, 1 inch long 
  • 1 cinnamon stick 
  • ¼ tsp salt

Directions

  1. Combine everything except Grand Marnier in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.  
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, still stirring occasionally until mixture thickens and all berries are split and sauce has thickened to your liking, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Grand Marnier. 
  3. Remove ginger pieces and cinnamon stick and allow sauce to cool. Sauce will thicken more as it cools. Store in fridge in airtight container.
