Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh cranberries
- 1 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 whole orange, seeds removed, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup peeled and chopped apple
- 1 cup peeled and chopped pear
- 1 cup golden raisins
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans
Directions
In a medium heavy saucepan combine cranberries and water and cook until berries burst, about 10 minutes. Add all other ingredients except pecans and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens, about 25 minutes. Add nuts, stir to combine, and allow to cool. Transfer to a nonreactive bowl or jar and refrigerate, covered, for up to 2 weeks. Conserve may also be frozen in plastic food storage bags for up to 1 year. Alternatively, you can process hot mixture in sterilized jars and keep in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.

I don't normally like cranberry on thanksgiving but to recipe is fantastic. It has become a Thanksgiving staple and everyone raves about it. I omit the raisins as I don't like them but follow the rest of the recipe exactly. You can't go wrong with this recipe.
