Cranberry-Pear Relish

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh cranberries
• 2 pears, peeled, cored and diced
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Pinch of ground cloves

Directions

1. Add the onion, sugar, wine, ginger, lemon peel, and salt to a medium saucepan. Set it over high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring so the sugar melts into the liquid. Lower the heat until it bubbles gently, then cook at a simmer for 15 minutes.
2. Add the cranberries and pears, then continue simmering until the cranberries and onion are tender, about 20 minutes. The mixture will deepen into a rich scarlet sauce.
3. Take out the lemon peel and discard it. Cool the relish to room temperature before serving. Transfer any leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
