Honey Pear Cranberry Sauce

Honey Pear Cranberry Sauce
A wonderful, sweet fruit sauce that goes well with Pork or Poultry!

Serves 12

• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 pears, peeled, cored and diced
• 1 (12 ounce) package fresh or frozen cranberries
• 1 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

In a medium saucepan, stir together the water and sugar over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Stir in pears, and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring frequently for 3 minutes, then stir in cranberries and honey. Continue to cook until cranberries pop and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest. Cool to room temperature, then store covered in the refrigerator for up to one week.
