Categories     Fruit

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 12-oz bags fresh cranberries
zest of 2 navel oranges
orange segments from same 2 oranges (no pith)
2/3 cup crystalized ginger
1 cup (or more) sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt

Steps:

  • In food processor, combine zest, orange segments, ginger, and salt. Process a lot! This step is really important or the sugar will be crunchy in the final relish. Remove and put in a separate bowl. Put some cranberries into food processor (however much it can hold and still chop efficiently). If this is half the cranberries, then add half the sugar mixture. Pulse into cranberries and chopped but still quite chunky. Remove to another LARGE separate bowl. Continue with remaining cranberries and sugar mixture until done, continueing to add to LARGE bowl. When all done, stir relish in large bowl to make sure everything is well mixed. Refrigerate until ready to serve (can be done days in advance.)

Tips:

  • Select the ripest cranberries: Look for cranberries that are plump, firm, and have a deep red color. Avoid berries that are soft, bruised, or have any signs of mold.
  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger.
  • Chop the cranberries and ginger finely: This will help the relish to come together more easily and will also make it easier to spread.
  • Use a food processor or blender: This is the easiest way to chop the cranberries and ginger. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can chop them by hand with a sharp knife.
  • Taste the relish before serving: Adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more sugar, vinegar, or ginger.
  • Store the relish in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Fresh cranberry ginger relish is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add a pop of flavor to a variety of dishes. It's perfect for Thanksgiving dinner, but it can also be enjoyed year-round. With its bright red color and tart, sweet flavor, this relish is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to add some excitement to your meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
