Pomegranate, Apple, Cranberry Relish
Ingredients:



2 cups pomegranate juice
1/2 cup sugar
12 ounce bag fresh cranberries
1 medium crisp apple, peeled, cored, diced
1 cup pomegranate arils (seeds)
1 teaspoon orange zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint (or parsley)
 
Directions:
 








Simmer the pomegranate juice and sugar until it reduces to less than half, and a thin syrupy consistency is reached—about 15 minutes. (Thin like pure maple syrup.)


   
Meanwhile, using a food processor, coarsely chop the cranberries.


   
Pour them into a medium bowl and add the pomegranate syrup. It’s ok if it’s still warm.


   
Add the diced apple, pomegranate arils, orange zest salt and mint. Mix well.


   
Eat right away or chill for up to a week.
