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'm not even done cooking this but the taste I just had was absolutely wonderful. It's going to be great with our Turkey but... I can also see having this over some really good vanilla ice cream. YUMMY!!!! And it's so easy to make. This is going to be a hit this yearRead more

    I'm a cranberry nut too, fill my freezer with bags on sale this time of year. This recipe is excellent but for slight taste... variations substitute some light brown sugar, an/or cubed mango & pineapple for apple/pears -a more tropical twist i do in summer.Read more

    Easy and tasty in a tangy way. It's presents beautifully in a jar to give as gifts. We're having this conserve as a topping... with whipped cream on Christmas hotcakes! Read more

    Excellent!!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a hit! Even people who don?t like cranberry sauce couldn?t stop eating it. I am a... beginner in the kitchen and this was very easy to make, even for me. I fixed it the day before and put in the refrigerator over night. The next day it had congealed into a jelly full of fresh fruits and nuts. It was a great compliment to the turkey, but also tasty on its own.Read more

    Absolutely Wonderful for diabetics!!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I was recently diagnosed with diabetes so was looking for a cranberry sauce recipe to have for Thanksgiving that I could... eat!! Thanks to the fireman who sugested using Splenda in this, I found it!!! I left out the pear because mine didn't get ripe, did NOT put the orange in peel and all. Instead, I put in some zest and cooked it with orange juice. Then I peeled and cut up the orange and added it after it was somewhat cool!! Then I added the Grand Marinier as one writer suggested! Also added just 1 T. of sugar to cut the slight aftertaste of the Splenda. Made it a day ahead, refridgerated it, and added the toasted, chopped pecans before serving. My husband and friends just raved about it!! And my husband does not normally like this sort of thing!! So thank you Emeril, and you, Mr Fireman and the rest of the reviewers for the tips!!
