In a large sauce pan combine 1/3 cup cranberries, 1/3 cup pomegranate arils, 1 tbsp sugar and 1/2 cup orange juice.
Bring to a light boil, stirring frequently, for a few minutes until cranberries pop and the mixture thickens.
Then pulse it with the immersion blender until smooth and strain the sauce through the fine mesh into the jar, discarding the seeds. Let the sauce cool completely.
In the bowl of a standing mixer using the whisk attachment, beat the whipping cream, mascarpone and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, about 2 – 3 minutes. Stir 1/2 cup of the cream into the cooled cranberry and pomegranate sauce, then carefully use a spatula to fold that mixture back into the bowl of the whipped cream.
