Preparation

Step 1

Bring water, sugar, orange zest, and salt to boil in medium nonreactive saucepan over high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar. Stir in cranberries and return to boil. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in pomegranate molasses. Simmer until saucy, slightly thickened, and about two-thirds of berries have popped open, about 5 minutes. Take off the heat and stir in liqueurs and cloves. Add cinnamon stick and cover it with the sauce. Let sit for 15 minutes. Transfer to nonreactive bowl, cool to room temperature, and serve. Sauce can be made ahead, covered and refrigerated up to 7 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
