RAW CRANBERRY RELISH WITH FUYU PERSIMMON



Raw Cranberry Relish With Fuyu Persimmon image

Tart cranberries meet their perfect match in persimmons, the glorious fruit that ripens in time for Thanksgiving. For this cranberry relish, use Fuyu persimmons, which are eaten while still hard, like apples.

Provided by Anna Thomas

Yield Makes about 2½ cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 oz. fresh cranberries
1 large navel orange
2-3 Fuyu persimmons (8 oz.)
Pinch sea salt
⅓ cup sugar, plus more to taste
2-3 tsp. fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Wash the cranberries well and pick them over, discarding soft ones. Scrub the orange and dry it. Use a microplane to grate off the zest and measure out 2 teaspoons, then peel the orange and remove the white pith, and break into segments. Wash the persimmons, trim out their stems and cores, and cut them into roughly 1-inch pieces.
  • Combine the cranberries, orange, grated zest, persimmons, and a pinch of sea salt in the container of the food processor and pulse briefly, just to break everything up. Add the sugar and 2 teaspoons lemon juice, pulse again, and taste. If you think you need more sweetness, add a tiny bit more sugar; if you need acid, add a drop of lemon juice.
  • Pulse once more to blend the seasonings, but do not overprocess. This relish should have a gravelly texture, with distinct pieces of golden persimmon showing among the cranberries.
