Pear Cranberry Sauce

Sweetened with Agave

You could just open a can of cranberry sauce, but homemade agave pear cranberry sauce is an easy and delicious way to go beyond the can!

Like many of us, I grew up with can shaped cranberry sauce at holiday meals.

As a small child I liked to volunteer to “make” the cranberry sauce by opening the can and pouring it out onto a plate. 

Now that my tastes have matured, I prefer fresh cranberry sauce with some extras added in, including pears, ginger and cinnamon.

Cranberries are very tart, so they do need something to sweeten them up. 

I prefer using sugar alternatives, when it makes sense and agave nectar works well with this recipe. 

Agave is low glycemic, so is a good alternative sweetener for those who have health concerns. 

However, it is has a smooth sweet taste, so can be enjoyed by anyone. 

And, of course, I am happy to reduce refined sugar consumption where I can on a holiday known for its abundance. 

Fresh ginger provides a nice contract to the pear and cranberry flavors and the cinnamon is a nice finishing touch. 

I hope you enjoy the agave sweetened cranberry sauce and that your holiday celebrations are wonderful!
