Everything about this recipe is perfect! I brought it to Thanksgiving dinner and everyone was raving about it. I brought this recipe, along with a batch of my usual cranberry sauce that I make (orange-spice flavored) and this one was the clear winner. Even the youngest guest (1 year old) kept crying for more! I made it exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing. A new favorite! Thanks Leah! FYI: my 12oz bag of fresh cranberries was about 3 1/4 cups, so I reduced the rest of the ingredients a bit. - 27 Nov 2015 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Delicious. It is a little to sweet for my taste so next time the honey will be reduced to 3/4 c. and the pears will be cut into smaller dice. - 25 Nov 2018 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I added toasted pecans to mine and it was fantastic. - 30 Nov 2016 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
