Categories     Fruit

Time 25m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (12 ounce) bag cranberries
1 (6 ounce) box red Jell-O (pick your favorite red flavor, or use two 3-oz boxes and mix flavors)
1 apple, cored but unpeeled
1 orange, seeded, but unpeeled
1 stalk celery, diced
1/2 cup chopped pecans or 1/2 cup walnuts
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained (I typically use a 16 oz can and it also works fine)
1/4-1/2 cup sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Chop or grind cranberries, orange (with rind) and apple (with peel). Make sure you do this in such a way as to conserve all of the juice.
  • You can use a food processor or one of the old metal food grinders that clamp to your table - mine drips horribly, but if you have kids helping, it's lots of fun for them to turn the crank and hear the cranberries pop. You could of course chop it all by hand with a knife, but you'll want to chop everything very finely.
  • Place fruits and their juices in a serving dish/bowl that will hold 8-10 cups.
  • Add diced celery, nuts and crushed pineapple with juice.
  • Dissolve jello in recommended amount of boiling water (2 cups), and add to the fruit/nut mixture.
  • Depending on how juicy your fruit is, you may not need to add any cold water to the mixture. If you think it will need it, don't add more than 1 cup.
  • Depending on the tartness of your fruits, you may or may not want to add some sugar, perhaps 1/2 cup. (I just taste it before putting it in the fridge to set and add sugar if it seems too tart.).
  • Refrigerate for several hours till set(overnight is good).

Cranberry Relish Two Ways image

Sara Foster, of Foster's Market in Durham and Chapel Hill, NC, makes two cranberry relishes: one with citrus for more traditional tastes, and the other with seven-pepper jelly for a spicy flavor.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Quick & Easy Recipes

Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
Zest of 1 orange
4 oranges, segmented, pith and membranes removed
1 cup seven-pepper jelly
1 tablespoon fresh herbs, such as rosemary and thyme

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a simmer. Add the cranberries, sugar, orange juice and zest. Stir until sugar is dissolved and the cranberries begin to pop, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Divide relish in half, reserving half. Add orange segments to half of the cranberries. Stir to combine.
  • Add pepper jelly and fresh herbs to the remaining half. Stir to combine. Serve relishes in separate dishes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and crisp celery and cranberries: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your relish. Look for celery that is firm and has bright green stalks. Cranberries should be plump and red.
  • Chop the celery and cranberries finely: This will help the relish to have a more uniform texture and flavor.
  • Use a sharp knife: A dull knife will crush the celery and cranberries, making the relish less flavorful.
  • Add some sweetness: If you find the relish to be too tart, you can add some sugar or honey to taste.
  • Experiment with different spices: You can add different spices to the relish to give it a unique flavor. Some popular choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Make the relish ahead of time: The relish will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. This makes it a great option for holiday parties or potlucks.

Conclusion:

Cranberry and celery relish is a delicious and versatile side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you are looking for a sweet or tart relish, this recipe is sure to please.
