Cranberry sauce is a must-have, classic holiday side dish. Sweet orange and pear are perfect partners to the tart cranberries. The orange marmalade intensifies the citrus flavor, the vanilla adds a subtle aroma, and the star anise will have people asking "what is that?"

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup orange juice
½ cup cranberry juice
⅓ cup white sugar
1 (12 ounce) package fresh cranberries
1 medium pear - peeled, cored, and diced
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 star anise
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons orange marmalade

Steps:

  • Combine orange juice, cranberry juice, and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in 1/2 of the cranberries, pear, orange zest, vanilla extract, star anise, and salt, and return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Add the remaining cranberries and cook, stirring often, until cranberries start to burst and mixture starts to thicken, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in orange marmalade and set aside. Sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
