Cranberry sauce is a must-have, classic holiday side dish. Sweet orange and pear are perfect partners to the tart cranberries. The orange marmalade intensifies the citrus flavor, the vanilla adds a subtle aroma, and the star anise will have people asking "what is that?"

Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups orange juice
  • 0.5 cups cranberry juice
  • 0.33 cups white sugar
  • 1 package fresh cranberries , 12 ounce
  • 1 medium pear - peeled , cored, and diced
  • 2 tablespoons grated orange zest
  • 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 star anise
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons orange marmalade

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine orange juice, cranberry juice, and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Stir in 1/2 of the cranberries, pear, orange zest, vanilla extract, star anise, and salt, and return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Add the remaining cranberries and cook, stirring often, until cranberries start to burst and mixture starts to thicken, about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove from heat. Stir in orange marmalade and set aside. Sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
