Method
Dice the pear quarters and place in a bowl with the pear juice. Blend until smooth and set aside until needed.
Warm the water and sugar in a large saucepan over a high heat, until the sugar dissolves.
Add the blended pear, cranberries, orange zest and spices to the saucepan; and stir.
Cook the fruit until it starts to boil. Then reduce the heat, cover the pan, and leave to simmer for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst.
Remove from heat and allow to cool before serving.
