Bright, jewel-like pomegranate seeds bring a refreshing twist to the holiday table in this tangy relish. With hints of orange zest, fresh ginger, and just a touch of honey, it balances sweet, tart, and spicy notes in every bite. Serve it as a vibrant alternative to overly-sweet cranberry sauce—it pairs beautifully with roast turkey, chicken, or even spooned over cheese and crackers.

2 medium pomegranates, seeded, about 1 ½ cups
1 tablespoon finely chopped orange zest
1 tablespoon orange juice
1/2 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon salt

In a small mixing bowl, gently combine pomegranate arils and remaining ingredients.
YIELD: Makes 1 ½ cups
