- 1 cup sugar
- 3 firm pears peeled and cored, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
- 1/4 cup dried pitted dates coarsely chopped
- Combine cranberries and sugar in saucepan; cook over medium-low heat until berries release juices, about 8 minutes.
- Place pears a medium bowl, and toss with lemon zest and juice.
- Add orange juice, raisins, and dates to cranberries. Raise heat to medium-high. Stir occasionally, adding pears when mixture begins to bubble.
