Mixed Fruit Sauce

My home is located on the coast of the Northern Pacific Ocean.  Therefore in the summer when the rest of the country is sweltering in heat and humidity, we might have our windows shut with a fire burning in the fireplace.  This is one of those late summer days but instead of having a fire in the fireplace, I've been cooking.  The heat from the stove is perfect for dispelling the chill of a wind driven fog.

In the cupboard...or on the counter...I had some fruit that was getting really ripe and I was not sure when I could use it.  So this afternoon I put together this delicious concoction by using these fruits as well as raiding the cupboard and the freezer.  Although delicious just by itself, methinks this would go well with breaded pork chops, a pork roast, a roasted chicken...or maybe  even at Thanksgiving with the turkey.  Here is what I did:

Ingredients:
1 12-oz package of cranberries (frozen or fresh)
1 Navel orange, peeled, separated into sections
1 ripe peach, not peeled, chopped into bite size pieces
1 ripe pear (Bosc), peeled and chopped into pieces
1/3 cup golden cranberries
1 cup orange juice (I toyed around with the idea of 1 cup brandy which I think would work beautifully_
1 cup sugar PLUS 2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon Allspice

Directions:
Combine all ingredients in medium sauce pan.  Stir to combine.  Using medium heat, bring to a boil stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes.

Reduce heat to low and cook another 45 minutes, stirring occasionally and until ingredients are well combined.  Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly.

Cool to room temperature and then refrigerate.

​Enjoy.
