Cranberry Pear Sauce - Recipe

Perfect with Turkey

Cranberries are full of antioxidants that help fight major diseases and promote longevity

This cranberry sauce has less sugar than the traditional version, but the chunks of pear add natural sweetness. Cranberries are full of antioxidants that help fight major diseases and promote longevity. Hold the mayo on those turkey sandwiches and use this instead!
