Time 1h35m

Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 Meyer lemons, rinsed and patted dry
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small head fennel, finely chopped (1 cup)
1 small onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
Kosher salt
1/4 cup honey

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add fennel, onion, fennel seeds, and a large pinch of salt. Reduce heat to medium; cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is softened and just beginning to turn golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Add lemons, honey, and 1/3 cup water. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil; cook until reduced to a jammy consistency and liquid is almost completely evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl; let cool completely.

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 1/2 cups cranberries (about 14 ounces)
1 cup pure pomegranate juice
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup fresh Meyer lemon juice or regular lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely grated Meyer lemon peel or regular lemon peel
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Combine first 5 ingredients in large saucepan. Stir over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until berries begin to burst, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Transfer to small bowl. Stir in parsley. Cover and chill until cold. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, ripe Meyer lemons with a deep yellow color for the best flavor.
  • To zest the lemons, use a microplane or fine grater to remove only the colorful outer layer of the peel, avoiding the white pith.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the lemons, removing any seeds as you go.
  • For a spicier relish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a finely chopped chili pepper.
  • Store the relish in a clean glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Serve the relish as a condiment with grilled fish, chicken, or tofu, or use it as a topping for tacos, sandwiches, or salads.
