POT ROAST WITH CRANBERRIES
There's more to the cranberry than sauce, you know, and this simple roast is happy, yet unexpected, proof. Its preparation is as simple as can be: generously dust the meat with sugar then sear in a skillet. Once browned, toss in a bag of cranberries, orange peel, orange juice, a good half cup of sherry vinegar and a pinch of cayenne. Cover and simmer until tender. It's a lively, perfectly-balanced, cold-weather meal. It also makes a mercifully easy Christmas main.

Steps:
- Put butter or oil in a casserole or skillet with a lid, and turn heat to medium-high. Put sugar on a plate, and dredge meat in it on all sides; reserve remaining sugar. When butter foam subsides or oil is hot, brown meat on all sides, seasoning it with salt and pepper as it browns.
- When meat is nicely browned, add vinegar, and cook a minute, stirring, then add cranberries and remaining sugar, and stir. Strip zest from orange (you can do it in broad strips, with a small knife or vegetable peeler), and add it to pot; juice orange, and add juice also, along with a pinch of cayenne. Turn heat to low, and cover pan; mixture should bubble but not furiously.
- Cook, turning meat and stirring about every 30 minutes. Tenderloin will be medium-rare in about 1 hour, or when its internal temperature is 125 to 130 degrees; cook it longer if you want it more done. Chuck or brisket will take 2 hours or longer; it is done when tender. Taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Turn off heat, and let roast rest for a few minutes, then carve and serve, with sauce.

CRANBERRY POMEGRANATE SAUCE
This is a delicious fruit-filled version of cranberry sauce. The pomegranate is cooked separately to facilitate seed removal, then both parts are combined to finish cooking. It's wonderful as an accompaniment for poultry, and can be made into a lovely trifle-type dessert with vanilla pudding and pound cake.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat: Chuck roast or rump roast are ideal for pot roast as they are tough cuts that become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
- Brown the meat well before braising: This helps to develop flavor and color.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Carrots, celery, and onions are classic pot roast vegetables, but you can also add other vegetables such as potatoes, turnips, or parsnips.
- Season the pot roast well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. You can also add fresh herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
- Braise the pot roast low and slow: The ideal temperature for braising is between 275 and 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook the pot roast for at least 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling apart.
- Make a flavorful sauce: The sauce is an important part of any pot roast. You can make a simple sauce using the braising liquid, or you can add additional ingredients such as cranberry-pomegranate jelly, red wine, or beef broth.
- Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles: Pot roast is a hearty and comforting dish that can be served with a variety of side dishes.
Conclusion:
Pot roast with cranberry-pomegranate sauce is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a cold winter day.
