CRANBERRY RELISH



Cranberry Relish image

Holiday and Thanksgiving Cranberry Relish recipe. Fresh cranberries ground up with apples and orange. Great with turkey sandwiches.

Provided by Elise Bauer

Categories     Side Dish     Condiment     Sauce     Cranberry     Relish     Thanksgiving

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups rinsed raw cranberries
2 peeled and cored tart green apples, cut into thick slices
1 large, whole (peel ON) seedless orange, cut into sections
1 to 2 cups granulated sugar (depending on how sweet you would like your relish to be)

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 FRUIT RELISH



Cranberry Fruit Relish image

This fruity relish requires no cooking - all you need is a blender! Cranberries, oranges, apples, and pineapple (plus some ginger and nutmeg to jazz it up) make this a great change of pace from the usual cranberry sauce. The recipe is from Taste of Home's 2005 Holiday Recipe collection. I haven't tried it yet, but when I make it, I'm going to reduce the sugar. Cook time is chill time.

Provided by A Messy Cook

Categories     Fruit

Time 2h15m

Yield 1 bowl of relish

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
1 medium navel orange, peeled and sectioned
1 medium apple, cut into wedges
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 (8 ounce) can crushed unsweetened pineapple, drained
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Place cranberries, orange, and apple in blender; cover and process until chunky.
  • Transfer to bowl and stir in remaining ingredients.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Tips:

  • Selecting Cranberries: Choose plump, firm cranberries that are deep red in color. Avoid any that are soft, bruised, or have blemishes.
  • Preparing Cranberries: Rinse the cranberries thoroughly under cold water. If you prefer, you can also remove the stems from the cranberries before cooking.
  • Cooking the Relish: Cook the cranberries in a saucepan over medium heat until they begin to burst. Stir frequently to prevent sticking. Once the cranberries have burst, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the relish has thickened.
  • Adding Sweetness: Add sugar or honey to the relish to taste. You can also use a combination of both. If you prefer a tarter relish, you can reduce the amount of sweetener or omit it altogether.
  • Adding Spices: Experiment with different spices to enhance the flavor of the relish. Common spices used in cranberry relish include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice.
  • Adding Fruits and Nuts: For a more festive and flavorful relish, add chopped apples, oranges, or pineapple. You can also add chopped walnuts or pecans for a crunchy texture.
  • Chilling the Relish: Once the relish has cooled, transfer it to a jar or container and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

Fruited cranberry relish is a versatile and delicious condiment that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It is a classic Thanksgiving and Christmas side dish, but it can also be used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or ice cream. It is also a great addition to sandwiches, wraps, and salads. With its bright color and tangy flavor, fruited cranberry relish is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
