Steps:
- Slice the very edge root ends off of the orange, just until you see the flesh. Leave the rest of the skin ON the orange and slice it into 8 pieces.
- Place the fresh cranberries, orange slices and sugar in your food processor and process until smooth (or until no large chunks remain).
- Refrigerate until ready to serve (it tastes best after being in the fridge for at least on hour) or for up to 1 week. Serve over turkey, chicken, pork loin etc.

CRANBERRY RELISH
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.

CRANBERRY RELISH
Cranberries are a must-have for certain holiday dinners. Lucky for us they're naturally low in carbs. Unfortunately, almost all the cranberry relishes and sauces you'll find in your market are full of sugar! This relish is all about the cranberries, and without all that unnecessary sugar!

LEMONY CRANBERRY RELISH
Cranberry relish using a whole orange is a classic, but here, a whole lemon - pith and all - acts as the bitter, acerbic edge that your Thanksgiving plate needs. Try to find a thin-skinned lemon, which will prevent the relish from skewing too bitter. (Give it a squeeze before buying. Thin-skinned lemons will yield slightly under pressure, whereas thick-skinned lemons will feel hard.) This confetti of a condiment looks beautiful as well, almost like stained glass, with its jeweled, ruby gleam. Definitely make this the night before Thanksgiving to get it out of the way, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to eat.

Steps:
- Rinse and drain the cranberries, then pick out and discard any squishy ones. In a food processor, pulse the cranberries, lemon, sugar and salt until finely chopped. You can serve this immediately or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 48 hours, or until ready to serve. As it sits, the sugar will dissolve and the fruit will release liquid, creating a sweet-tart sauciness.

SPICY RED PEPPER CRANBERRY RELISH
A kicky condiment, usually made with cranberries, can offset the neutral (read: bland) yet rich nature of the Thanksgiving meal. This hot red-pepper cranberry relish with jalapeños and cayenne fits the bill. You can keep the seasoning somewhat tame, or ramp up the heat to taste. It will keep for 2 weeks or so; make it in advance, as soon as cranberries are available, and have it on hand in the fridge through the holiday season.

Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor, use fresh cranberries. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but they may not have as much flavor.
- For a sweeter relish, add more sugar. For a tarter relish, add less sugar.
- If you don't have orange juice, you can use water instead. However, the orange juice adds a nice flavor to the relish.
- If you want a chunky relish, chop the cranberries by hand. If you want a smoother relish, use a food processor.
- Be sure to refrigerate the relish for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Cranberry relish is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes. It is perfect for Thanksgiving dinner, but it can also be enjoyed all year long. With its sweet and tart flavor, cranberry relish is a great way to add a pop of flavor to your meals.
