Cranberry Pomegranate Sauce

This is a recipe I have adapted from Barefoot Contessa Parties; we have it each year at Thanksgiving and also for Christmas dinner. I absolutely love it!

2 cups pomegranate juice
1 cup sugar
12 oz. bag of fresh cranberries
1 apple, diced and peeled
grated zest of 1 orange and 1 lemon
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup dried cherries

Cook the cranberries, juice and sugar until cranberries start to pop (about 5 minutes); add the apple and dried cherries and cook for about 15 minutes. Add the nuts and let it cool overnight. Easy!
