CRAB APPLE AND CRANBERRY RELISH



Crab Apple and Cranberry Relish image

If you bring cranberry relish to the Thanksgiving table this year, you'll be eating a food that long predates the holiday. Members of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) have been harvesting sasumuneash (sour berries) on Martha's Vineyard, MA, for thousands of years, using them to flavor and preserve meat, dye textiles and prevent illnesses. Today the berries are still central to Aquinnah Wampanoag culture: Tribe members celebrate Cranberry Day in the fall with traditional foods like chowder, quahogs, venison and, of course, cranberries. Stay true to the berry's native roots this year and try a relish recipe from the National Museum of the American Indian.

CRAB-APPLE JELLY



Crab-Apple Jelly image

Make this jelly in the fall, when crab apples are plentiful. It can then be canned and enjoyed throughout the year.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 pounds crab apples
6 cups water
3 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Wash and quarter apples; place in a 6-quart saucepan. Add 6 cups water; place over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer; cook until very soft, 45 to 60 minutes; remove from heat. Pour into a bowl through a fine mesh strainer lined with two layers of damp cheesecloth. Gather cheesecloth; tie into a bundle. Suspend from a wooden-spoon handle set over bowl; drain, without pressing solids, 1 hour, to yield about 4 cups juice.
  • Place juice in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes; skim foam. Add sugar; stir to dissolve. Clip on a candy thermometer; cook until the temperature reaches 220 degrees, skimming foam. Pour into jars, let cool, and keep refrigerated for up to 6 months.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Crab apples are the traditional choice for this relish, but you can also use other tart apples, such as Granny Smith or Bramley.
  • Prepare your apples: Wash and core the apples, then cut them into small pieces. You can peel the apples if you prefer, but it's not necessary.
  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries are the best choice for this relish, but you can also use frozen cranberries if necessary. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
  • Add some sweetness: The natural tartness of the crab apples and cranberries is balanced by the addition of sugar or honey. You can adjust the amount of sweetener to your taste.
  • Add some spices: A variety of spices can be used to flavor this relish, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.
  • Let the relish rest: Allow the relish to rest for at least 24 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

Crab apple and cranberry relish is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes. It's perfect for Thanksgiving dinner, but it can also be enjoyed all year round. With its tart and sweet flavor, this relish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
