Cranberry-Pomegranate Sauce

Recipe

from Lulu, yields about 2 cups

• 2 12 oz. bags fresh cranberries
• 16 oz. pomegranate juice
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup finely chopped sweet onion
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes

Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan and cook over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Mixture will thicken as it cooks, and will thicken more as it cools. Once off the stove, add the onion and red pepper flakes.
