Cranberry Dressing

1 cup water
1 cup white sugar
1 12oz package fresh cranberries
1 orange
1 apple
1 pear
1 cup chopped dried fruit mix
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

This is our traditional thanksgiving cranberry dressing.

Peel, core and dice the apple, pear and orange. (You could also puree the orange.) In a large sauce pan boil water and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat to simmer and stir in all remainin ingredients. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.

Can add 3/4 cranberries in begining and then add remaining part 15 min into cooking for some firm texture.
