Instructions
- Begin by rinsing the fresh cranberries under cold water. Drain them well to remove excess water.
- Take your food processor and add in the cranberries and a whole orange, making sure to remove any seeds from the orange beforehand.
- Pulse the mixture until it is finely chopped. Be cautious not to over-process; you want to avoid a pureed texture.
- Once chopped, transfer the cranberry-orange mixture to a large bowl.
- Stir in the granulated sugar, ensuring that it is well combined with the mixture.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the relish for at least 2 hours. This rest period allows the sugar to dissolve completely and the fusion of the flavors to occur, creating a beautifully balanced relish.
Tips
- For an added layer of flavor, try adding a teaspoon of freshly grated ginger to the mix. Or for a festive twist, a splash of Grand Marnier or Cointreau can add a touch of sophistication.
