Superb Cranberry Sauce with Apples and Pears
5 (3 inch) cinnamon sticks
8 whole allspice berries
8 whole cloves
6 cups fresh cranberries
2 ¼ cups orange juice
4 Gala apples, peeled, cored and diced

Place the cinnamon sticks, allspice berries, and cloves onto the center of a 8 inch square piece of cheesecloth. Gather together the edges of the cheesecloth, and tie with kitchen twine to secure.

Stir in the apples, pears, white sugar, and brown sugar. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer about 25 minutes until the apples and pears are slightly soft. Remove and discard the spice sachet. Scrape the sauce into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Serve cold.
