This cranberry sauce is the bomb! I have never been a great fan of cranberry sauce (but I always eat it with turkey), however, I was scooping this up and eating with a spoon all day. My immediate family does enjoy pomegranate, and even those extended and skeptical guys ended up commenting on how good this was. Hands down, this is the best, and is so good I made another batch just to eat (by itself, like dessert) the week after thanksgiving.

This is the very best cranberry sauce I have ever had. Well worth the effort of deseeding the pomegranate. Left cinnamon sticks in overnight and made just as recipe specified. Will use every Thanksgiving!!

A favorite recipe! Sometimes I add mandrin oranges and/or a chapped apple.

Healthful choice with the added texture of pomegranate seeds is a fantastic holiday "cranberry sauce". My family raved and I've made it just because. I made the recipe just as is.

Made this for Christmas dinner. I'm already having to make the second batch because it's been requested for leftovers! I made the recipe exactly how it was given here and I didn't take the cinnamon sticks out for 24 hours (right before serving). The spices were not overpowering at all for us. My next batch I'm trying the Grand Marnier some have suggested. Great recipe and a great way to introduce pomegranate novices to this delicious and unique fruit as we did with our guests!

The cinnamon was very overpowering, but I was able to fix it with some lime juice and added lime slices to garnish (see photo) and it turned out splendidly. It was the first dish to run out at Thanksgiving - and a made a double batch! My spouse even licked the bowl clean - after the guests departed, of course :-)

My husband, toddler and I all very much enjoyed this sauce, and it's going to be a regular item at the dinner table from now on. The only thing I did different from the recipe was to pull the cinnamon sticks from the sauce after 3 hours instead of waiting a full 8 hours. It was spicy enough without being overwhelming, for us, at that point.

I have never tried to make a cranberry sauce. But this was so easy and the pomegranate is a nice addition. Family loved it and keeps requesting it year-round.
