- Place the cranberries in a colander and thoroughly rinse them.
- Pick out and discard any damaged or bruised cranberries.
- In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the water and sugar over medium-high heat.
- Once the sugar has dissolved and the liquid is simmering, add the cranberries, stirring to coat them with the syrup. Let the cranberries cook for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped apples and pears. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, stirring periodically, until the cranberries are soft and have all popped open.
- Stir in the lemon zest, cinnamon, and pecans, if using.
- Remove from the heat. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
