Pomegranate Cranberry Sauce holiday side dishes
Yields4 ServingsPrep Time10 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time25 mins

Ingredients

 2 cups fresh cranberries
 ½ cup pomegranate juice (pomegranate juice as the only ingredient)
 ½ cup water
 ¼ cup maple syrup (or date paste, link in Chef’s Notes)
 1 cinnamon stick
 1 inch fresh ginger (peeled and sliced)
 ¼ tsp allspice

Directions

1

Add all ingredients to a medium stovetop pot.

2

Bring to a boil then simmer for 10 minutes or until the cranberries are soft (they may start to burst — that’s okay!) and the mixture thickens. Stir occasionally.

3

Taste halfway through for additional flavors, such as more sweetness or allspice.

4

Remove the sauce from the heat and transfer to a heat-safe bowl or glass storage container.

5

Once cool, remove the cinnamon stick and ginger slice. Store in the refrigerator, covered, for 1–2 hours before serving. The sauce will thicken further once it cools.
