SO delicious, and the topping isn't too sweet. I often make the topping in advance, then just heat the whole thing together right before serving. I usually make this for my annual cookie exchange, and everyone raves about it.

1 cup chopped fresh cranberries
1/2 cup chopped peeled pear
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon currants
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
3 tablespoons cranberry juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
