Cranberry-Pomegranate Sauce

Submitted by KathyP53

"Cranberry and Pomegranate are two peas in a pod and make a spectacular sauce for turkey day! Really easy too. Cut pomegranates in half crosswise, hold cut side over a large bowl and tap the top of the fruit repeatedly with the back of a tablespoon. Seeds and juice will drop into bowl....magic! Make the cranberry sauce anhead of time and refrigerate, covered. Fold in the pomegranate seeds just before serving."

Deliciously different and perfect for Thanksgiving! Darling Daughter prepared this for our holiday meal. She tried your method of whacking the seeds and juice out, but preferred her usual method of scooping out the seeds. Also for ease of preparation, she used store bought juice. Thanks for sharing!
