cranberry-pomegranate relish

3 cups fresh cranberries (about 12 ounces)

3/8 cup date sugar

1 cup orange juice

1 large orange peel (cut into thin slivers - no white pith)

2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves (optional)

1 large orange (cut into 1/2-inch pieces)

2/3 cup pomegranate seeds

Combine cranberries, sugar, orange juice, and orange peel in a large saucepan. Stir over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until berries begin to burst. Turn heat to medium-low and cook another 10 minutes, stirring often. Mince rosemary leaves; then stir into sauce with orange segments and pomegranate seeds. Transfer to a small serving bowl. Cover and chill.
