Cooking Time: 75 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Large tart apples, peeled
• 2 Whole pomegranates, peeled
• 16 Fluid Ounces (fl oz) pomegranate juice
• 2 Cups white sugar
• 2 Large oranges, peeled
• 24 Ounces (oz) fresh cranberries, rinsed
• 1 Cup pecans, chopped
• 1 Zested orange peel (from half of one orange)

Steps

1. Peel and core the apples. Place the peelings and cores in a small saucepan with the pomegranate seeds, 0.5 cup of pomegranate juice, and 0.5 cup of sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer and cook for 30 minutes.
2. Chop the peeled apples and place them in a large saucepan. Add the zested orange peel to the apples. Peel the oranges, chop coarsely, and add to the pan along with the cranberries, remaining pomegranate juice, and sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, and cook for 30 minutes.
3. Remove the small pan from heat and strain the juice into the larger pan. Cool the solids slightly, then push through a sieve to remove seeds and peels, adding the remaining pulp to the larger pan. Stir in the chopped pecans. Cook for about 10 minutes longer. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

Enjoy this vibrant and flavorful sauce as a perfect addition to your holiday meals!
