Recipe by Tyler Florence Star chef Tyler Florence makes his not-too-sweet molded cranberry sauce with chunks of pineapple.

Ingredients

2 pounds fresh or frozen cranberries
3 cups sugar
2 cups finely chopped fresh pineapple (8 ounces)
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt
Pepper
Shaved celery, snipped chives and chopped toasted walnuts, for garnish

Instructions

Line a 1 1/2-quart glass bowl or mold with plastic wrap, allowing 4 inches of overhang all around.
Reserve 1/4 cup of the cranberries for garnish. In a large saucepan, combine the rest of the cranberries with the sugar, pineapple, orange zest, lemon juice and 1/2 cup of water and bring to a boil. Cook over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until the cranberries are broken down and the mixture is thick, 30 to 35 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.

Peel back the plastic and carefully invert the cranberry mold onto a plate; remove the plastic wrap. Garnish with the reserved cranberries, shaved celery, snipped chives and chopped walnuts and serve cold.
