Instructions

Position rack in center of oven; preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the pear halves on parchment-lined baking sheets, brush with olive oil and roast until tender, about 40 minutes *see notes. Remove pears from oven and set aside to cool.
Chop pears into small pieces when cool enough to handle.
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the oil. Add cranberries, orange zest and ginger.
Stir until cranberries begin to burst, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add wine, orange juice, white raisins, honey, and salt; simmer until mixture is reduced, about 15 minutes.
Stir in the roasted chopped pears.
Transfer 1/4 of the mixture to a high-speed blender, and add the dates. Process until dates are pureed.
Transfer the pureed date-mixture back to the saucepan and stir to combine.
Serve cranberry sauce warm, or chilled. Enjoy!

Notes

*In a rush? Instead of roasting the pears, simply dice, and pan fry until soft, and slightly crisp. This should take only 5-10 minutes.
