Yummy! Of course, I never leave a recipe along. I made a half recipe which included 1 bag cranberries, 1 pear (pealed and diced), peel of 1 whole orange-diced, juice of the orange, 1/2 cup water, dash of cinnamon, 1/8 tsp ground ginger, 1/2 cup Splenda, 1/4 cup sugar, pinch of salt, and dash of ground Cayenne pepper. Threw it all in a small saucepan. Follow cooking directions. Great for relish or on top of oatmeal or drizzled on cheesecake.
This was so simple, but amazing. So fragrant. I didn't have oranges, but fresh Clementines on hand and for the zest and juice it was exquisite. A new favorite for the future.
My family loved this, including the ones that said they hate cranberry sauce
