Choose ripe but firm pears which will retain their texture during cooking.
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
3 cups cranberries (12 ounces)
2 medium pears, cored and cubed (2 cups)
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
4 inches stick cinnamon
Bay leaves (optional)
Lemon peel (optional)
In a large saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar. Boil rapidly, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
Add cranberries, pears, nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon. Return to boiling. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or till cranberry skins pop, stirring often. Remove from heat. Transfer to a bowl. Cover and chill.
Before serving, remove cinnamon stick. If desired, garnish with bay leaves and lemon peel.
