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.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries are the best choice for making cranberry relish, as they have a tart and juicy flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Chop the cranberries coarsely. Do not puree or finely chop the cranberries, as this will make the relish too mushy. A coarse chop will give the relish a nice texture.
- Use a variety of spices. The spices in cranberry relish can vary depending on your taste. Some common spices used in cranberry relish include orange zest, lemon zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
- Sweeten the relish to taste. The amount of sugar you add to the relish will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount of sugar and add more to taste.
- Chill the relish before serving. Cranberry relish is best served chilled. This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
Cranberry relish is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is a classic holiday dish, but it can also be enjoyed all year round. With its tart and tangy flavor, cranberry relish is a surefire way to add some zest to your next meal.
