Cranberry Sauce with Honey and Pears

This spicy cranberry sauce uses honey and pears to sweeten it instead of sugar. I try to prepare this at least a few hours ahead of time to allow all the flavors to blend, but if you don’t have time to wait, it’s still delicious. A beautiful sweet/tart addition to any feast.

Step: 1

Combine honey, apple cider, water, lemon juice, and cinnamon stick in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium and simmer, stirring frequently, until smooth, about 5 minutes. Add pears and cranberries and return to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer until sauce is thickened, 12 to 15 minutes. Refrigerate until chilled and flavors have blended, at least 2 hours.

One of most obvious way to pick a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose something different. If you’re cooking pasta, go for a simple healthy dish . Made steak? Go for something light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to also make a rice salad.

This also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to push more often your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the cooking items . But sometimes you can make a dish do more often .
