    Place wine, sugars and cinnamon in a medium pot and stir to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes.

    Add cranberries, lemon and orange zest, pomegranate juice and salt. Stir and cook slowly over low heat for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring frequently, until all cranberries have burst and sauce becomes a thick syrupy consistency. Take from heat and let cool. Serve warm, cold or at room temperature.
