Equipment

  • 1 3 quart sauce pan

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces fresh cranberries from one bag
  • 2 cups pomegranate arils
  • 1.5 cup maple sugar can also use brown sugar
  • ½ cup fresh blood orange juice
  • Zest of 2 blood oranges
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Place all the ingredients in a 4 quart dutch oven or large saucepan and cook on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated and reduced. You want the texture to begin to appear jammy.
  • Once most of the cranberries have popped, and pomegranates have released their juices, remove from heat and let rest for at least 15 minutes.
  • Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Re-heat over the stove until warmed through before you serve.
