Categories     Fruit Juice     Side     Stew     Thanksgiving     Cranberry     Fall     Simmer     Parade

Number Of Ingredients 5

16 ounces fresh cranberries
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup cranberry juice
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Combine ingredients in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the berries pop open (about 10 minutes). Skim the foam off the surface with a metal spoon and discard. Cool to room temperature. Refrigerate, covered, for up to 3 months.

Tips for Making the Best Cranberry Relish:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and more vibrant color than frozen or canned cranberries.
  • Choose the right type of sugar. White sugar is the traditional choice for cranberry relish, but you can also use brown sugar or honey for a richer flavor.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries. Overcooked cranberries will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they begin to pop, about 5 minutes.
  • Add some spices. Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger add warmth and flavor to cranberry relish. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite blend.
  • Use fresh citrus zest. Fresh citrus zest adds a bright, tangy flavor to cranberry relish. Orange, lemon, and lime zest are all good choices.
  • Chill the relish before serving. Chilled cranberry relish has a more refreshing flavor and is easier to scoop.

Conclusion:

Cranberry relish is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed all year round. It is perfect for Thanksgiving dinner, but it can also be used to add flavor to sandwiches, salads, and even desserts. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a cranberry relish recipe that everyone will love.
