Pomegranate & Parsley sauce is an amazing alternative to cranberry sauce. Despite the fact that I was born, raised and still live in Cranberry Country I am not a fan of the cranberry flavor. My family owns cranberry bogs for goodness sakes, and It’s just been one of those flavors I’ve never liked in any way shape or form.
It would always be included with the holiday dinner, and I would always feel like I was missing out on something special everyone else had and loved… and I couldn’t understand WHY they love that flavor, but hey… who am I to question a fellow foodie’s palette?
I went without that jellied concoction on my plate for far too many years until I found this recipe. I honestly don’t know who came up with this recipe but it’s pure genius for the non-cranberry aficionados out there and now we can all be in that festive club that’s eluded us for years!
