Ingredients

Preparation

In a small saucepan, combine the fresh cranberries, brown sugar, pomegranate concentrate, and lime juice. Bring to a high simmer, or just to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer. Continue to cook until the mixture is thick and the berries are glazed and smashed.

Set the sauce aside to cool, then transfer to a covered container and refrigerate until needed. 

Just before serving, fold in the pomegranate seeds and then the persimmons. Sprinkle relish with orange zest.
