Time 35m

Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 bag (12 ounces) fresh cranberries, picked over
3 ripe Bartlett pears, (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled, quartered, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup dried cherries

Steps:

  • In a medium-size, heavy-bottom non-aluminum saucepan, combine cranberries, pears, sugar, dried cherries, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently to prevent scorching, until berries have popped and are tender, about 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
