Categories     Fruit

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 12-oz bags fresh cranberries
zest of 2 navel oranges
orange segments from same 2 oranges (no pith)
2/3 cup crystalized ginger
1 cup (or more) sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt

Steps:

  • In food processor, combine zest, orange segments, ginger, and salt. Process a lot! This step is really important or the sugar will be crunchy in the final relish. Remove and put in a separate bowl. Put some cranberries into food processor (however much it can hold and still chop efficiently). If this is half the cranberries, then add half the sugar mixture. Pulse into cranberries and chopped but still quite chunky. Remove to another LARGE separate bowl. Continue with remaining cranberries and sugar mixture until done, continueing to add to LARGE bowl. When all done, stir relish in large bowl to make sure everything is well mixed. Refrigerate until ready to serve (can be done days in advance.)

Tips:

  • For the freshest flavor, use cranberries that are plump and deep red in color. Avoid any berries that are soft or bruised.
  • If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger instead.
  • To make the relish ahead of time, simply store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • This relish is also a great way to use up leftover cranberries after Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.
  • Serve the relish with roasted turkey, grilled chicken, or fish. It also makes a great addition to sandwiches, wraps, and salads.

Conclusion:

Fresh Cranberry Ginger Relish is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed all year long. It's easy to make and can be used to add a pop of flavor to a variety of dishes. So next time you're looking for a way to brighten up your meal, give this relish a try.
