Yield 3 3/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bag (12 oz., 3 cups) fresh or frozen cranberries
1 tangerine (about 6 oz.)
1/2 cup dried apricots, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light molasses
3/4 cup raspberry vinegar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Sort and remove debris from cranberries; rinse and drain. Place cranberries in a 2- to 3-quart pan. Cut unpeeled tangerine into 1-inch chunks; remove and discard seeds. Using a food processor or a knife, finely chop tangerine. Add the chopped tangerine, apricots, brown sugar, granulated sugar, molasses, raspberry vinegar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla to pan. Stir to mix. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until berries are soft and begin to pop, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool. (If making ahead, cover and chill up to 1 month.)

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, ripe cranberries: This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your relish.
  • Use a variety of citrus fruits: This will give your relish a complex and flavorful taste. Oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits are all good choices.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries: They should be cooked until they are just softened, but not mushy.
  • Add some nuts or seeds for crunch: Chopped walnuts, pecans, or sunflower seeds are all good options.
  • Serve the relish chilled: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.

With its bright and tangy flavor, cranberry-citrus relish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
