SPICY CRANBERRY RELISH

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Berry     Pepper     Side     No-Cook     Thanksgiving     Quick & Easy     Hot Pepper     Fall     Chill     Gourmet     Fat Free     Kidney Friendly     Vegan     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lime
1 (12-oz) bag fresh cranberries (3 cups)
1 medium red onion, chopped
1/2 cup sugar
1 to 2 teaspoons minced fresh serrano chile, including seeds

Steps:

  • Finely grate 1 teaspoon zest from lime, then squeeze enough juice to measure 2 tablespoons.
  • Pulse cranberries with zest, juice, onion, sugar, and chile to taste in a food processor until finely chopped. Chill relish, covered, stirring occasionally, at least 2 hours (to allow flavors to develop) and up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and a firmer texture than frozen or canned cranberries.
  • Choose the right sweetener: Sugar is the traditional sweetener for cranberry relish, but you can also use honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. If you are using a sugar substitute, be sure to adjust the amount to taste.
  • Add some spice: Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger add a warm and festive flavor to cranberry relish. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries: Cranberries should be cooked just until they start to burst. Overcooking them will make them mushy.
  • Chill the relish before serving: Cranberry relish is best served cold. Chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.

Conclusion:

Cranberry relish is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other holiday gatherings. It is also a great way to use up leftover cranberries. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious cranberry relish that will be the hit of your next party.
