I've had this in my Wish List for many moons. Finally Amazoned a jar of Wilkin & Sons marmalade but, when it arrived, I was short a couple of the other ingredients. Oof!.. Just getting to make this today... The recipe above is better than its 3 star write-off: Intense... The cranberry-pomegranate combo though seemed a bit daft to me, so I twirled it two more times... Disclaimer: I was using unsweetened cranberry juice, and rounded out its fruitiness with a skosh of house-standard Morgenthaler grenadine... The cranberry-heavy version tasted like a worthy-enough Cosmo. Replacing the cran with a pom-grenadine blend (5:1) proved to take this out of the Cosmo sphere enough to satisfy my more exotic inclinations. Curious what anyone else thinks about this.
