• Grate enough of the apple to yield 3/4 cup. In a medium saucepan, bring the grated apple, pomegranate juice, sugar and cranberries to a simmer over medium heat.
• Simmer, covered until the apple is softened and the mixture has thickened a little, about 10 minutes.
• Uncover and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally at first and then constantly toward the end, until the liquid has evaporated and the mixture is reduce to 3/4 cup, about 5 minutes.
• With a rubber spatula, press the pulp through a medium-mesh strainer into a bowl until you can't get any more juice out of the pulp.
  
• Scrape all the juice clinging to the bottom of the strainer into the bowl and discard the pulp in the strainer.
