Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 bag fresh cranberries
- 1 orange, quartered
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the fresh cranberries under cold running water, removing any stems or damaged berries.
- Wash the orange carefully and cut it into quarters, leaving the peel intact for additional flavor and texture.
- Place the fresh cranberries and orange quarters into a food processor or blender.
- Add the granulated sugar and chopped walnuts to the food processor.
- Pulse the mixture in short bursts, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor bowl, until the ingredients are finely chopped but not completely pureed.
- Aim for a slightly chunky consistency that allows you to see distinct pieces of cranberry and orange.
- Transfer the relish to a serving bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and sugar to dissolve.
- Serve chilled as a side dish or condiment with turkey, ham, or holiday meals.
- Store any leftover relish in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- • For the freshest flavor, choose plump, firm cranberries with a deep red color. • Don't over-process the relish - you want a chunky texture that showcases the ingredients. • Make this relish at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. • For a less sweet version, reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup. • If you don't like walnuts, you can substitute with pecans or omit nuts entirely. • This relish can be made up to 3 days in advance, making holiday prep easier. • Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture. • For a festive presentation, garnish with some fresh orange zest or whole cranberries before serving.
