Equipment
- food processor
Ingredients
For the Relish
- 12 oz Fresh Cranberries Choose bright red, firm berries without soft spots for best results.

Instructions
How to Make Cranberry Relish
- Zest your orange and set the zest aside. Cut the ends off the orange and slice it into 8 wedges, removing any seeds.
- Rinse the cranberries under cold water, discarding any soft or discolored berries. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- In your food processor, add the cranberries, orange wedges (with skin), sugar, and reserved orange zest.
- Pulse a few times, then process until you reach your desired texture, aimed for a smooth blend with some chunks.
- Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to meld flavors.
- Serve chilled and stir to mix the juices before enjoying.
Notes
Garnish with a sprinkle of orange zest for added color. Store in an airtight container; lasts up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
