For a smoother sauce, you can use an immersion blender to puree it after simmering, before adding the pomegranate seeds. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the tartness of the cranberries and your personal preference. If you don't have fresh orange juice, you can use store-bought, but the flavor won't be quite as vibrant. The sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
