Light Cranberry Pear Sauce image

This is a light recipe from Martha Stewart which I have changed slightly. The addition of the cherries, pears and fruit juice adds natural sweetness which allows you to decrease the amount of sugar from the traditional cranberry sauce recipes. Sounds delish and I bet a pinch or two of ginger would be fabulous in here as well.
