Author Notes: I'm always a bit sad that it seems to take so much sugar to make cranberry sauce taste good, so I came up with this delicious mostly fruit-sweetened version. I love the flavor of pomegranate and l enjoy finding new ways to use it in the kitchen; I think it works here without undermining the flavor of the cranberries, which remains tart and very fresh. - WinnieAb
Serves about 4 cups
- 1 12 oz. package of fresh cranberries
- 1 cup pomegranate juice

- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely before mixing in the fresh pomegranate arils.

This looks so good -- and I love the way you've found a way to reduce the sugar. I am looking forward to trying it -- I always find the sugar quotient in most fresh cranberry sauces so overwhelming, but the price paid for fresh cranberries. Thanks!

I made a cranberry sauce with pomegranate last year and loved it. But I didn't use crystallized ginger. That must really add a burst of flavor!

This sounds great. I love the idea of the fresh arils adding their juicy pop to the dish.
