Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup organic maple syrup
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 ounces fresh organic ginger, grated
1/4 tsp Himalayan sea salt
3 organic firm pears, sprialized or sliced thin
zest of 1 organic lemon
juice of 2 organic lemons
zest and juice of 1 organic orange
20 ounces fresh organic cranberries, picked over

Steps:

In a non-reactive large saucepan, combine maple syrup, vinegar, ginger, and sea salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Add the pears, cover and cook until crisp tender, about 5 minutes. Add the citrus zests, juices, and cranberries to the pot. Simmer over medium heat, stirring often, until cranberries begin to pop - about 10-15 minutes. Return pear mixture to cranberries and cook for 5 minutes more. At this point you can use an immersion blender to break up the cranberries some or leave them "whole" style. For canning: Pour, while hot, into prepared hot jars, leaving ¼-inch head space. Adjust caps. Process 10 minutes in boiling water bath. Let cool overnight before checking seals. For refrigeration: Transfer to Mason jars and let them come to room temperature before covering and refrigerating.
