Light Cranberry Pear Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) bag fresh cranberries
3 bartlett pears, peeled, quartered, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup cranberry-grape juice
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

In a medium-size, heavy-bottom non-aluminum saucepan, combine cranberries, pears, sugar, dried cherries, cinnamon and juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently to prevent scorching, until berries have popped and are tender, about 10 minutes.
Cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
