CRANBERRY RELISH

Holiday and Thanksgiving Cranberry Relish recipe. Fresh cranberries ground up with apples and orange. Great with turkey sandwiches.

Categories     Side Dish     Condiment     Sauce     Cranberry     Relish     Thanksgiving

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups rinsed raw cranberries
2 peeled and cored tart green apples, cut into thick slices
1 large, whole (peel ON) seedless orange, cut into sections
1 to 2 cups granulated sugar (depending on how sweet you would like your relish to be)

Steps:

  • Prepare your grinder: If you are using an old fashioned grinder, use the medium-sized grinder plate and set the grinder on the edge of a table with a large bowl or pan to catch the fruit mix as it is ground. Old fashioned grinders tend to leak juice down the grinder base, so you may want to set up a bowl underneath to catch the drips. If you don't have an old fashioned grinder, you can use the grinder attachment to a KitchenAid mixer, or you can use a food processor. If you use a food processor, be careful not to over-pulse! Or you'll have mush instead of relish. You can also just chop very finely by hand, but that's difficult, especially with the cranberries.
  • Push fruit through grinder: Push the cranberries, orange sections, and apple slices through the grinder. Include the orange peel! Alternate the fruit as you push it through the grinder so that different fruits get ground together. If you do not have a grinder, pulse fruit in a food processor.

  • Chop the cranberries coarsely: This will help to preserve the texture of the cranberries and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Use a variety of spices: The spices in cranberry relish can vary depending on your personal preference. Some common spices include cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger.
  • Add some sweetness: Cranberry relish can be made with either sugar or honey. If you are using sugar, be sure to dissolve it completely in the water before adding it to the cranberries.
  • Let the relish chill: Cranberry relish should be chilled for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

Cranberry relish is a delicious and easy-to-make condiment that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes. It is a traditional Thanksgiving side dish, but it can also be enjoyed at other times of the year.
