Cranberry Relish

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups rinsed raw cranberries
  • 2 granny smith apples (peeled and cored); cut into thick slices (This ingredient is optional, but adds a nice flavor and texture to the mix.)
  • 1 large whole seedless orange (skin on); cut into sections
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (or more if you want it sweeter)

Directions: 

  1. Grind the fruit: using a grinder, mixer or food processor, alternate between adding the cranberries, orange wedges and apples. If using a food processor, be careful not to "over pulse," or it will become mushy.
  2. Add sugar: stir in the sugar. Let the mix sit at room temperature until the sugar has dissolved. This can take up to 45 minutes.
  3. Serve! Or store your cranberry relish in the refrigerator until ready to use.
