CRANBERRY-TEXAS RED GRAPEFRUIT RELISH



Cranberry-Texas Red Grapefruit Relish image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger
1 small red onion, finely diced
1 cup fresh Texas Red grapefruit juice
1 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup pure cane sugar, plus more if needed
1 pound fresh or frozen cranberries
2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
2 Texas Red grapefruits, segmented
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the ginger and onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the grapefruit and orange juices and sugar and bring to a boil. Cook until the sugar has melted and the mixture reduces slightly.
  • Stir in half of the cranberries and cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries pop and break down and the mixture begins to thicken. Add the remaining cranberries and cook just until the berries pop, about 5 minutes more. Remove from the heat, stir in the orange zest and grapefruit segments and season lightly with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl, stir in the parsley and serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese: A firm cheese, such as cheddar or Parmesan, will hold its shape better in the spread. If you use a soft cheese, such as cream cheese, you may need to add more flour or bread crumbs to thicken the spread.
  • Use fresh grapefruit: The fresher the grapefruit, the better the flavor of the spread will be. If you can, use organic grapefruit to avoid any pesticides or chemicals.
  • Don't overmix the spread: Overmixing can make the spread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the spread before serving: This will help the spread to firm up and make it easier to spread. You can chill the spread for up to 3 days.
  • Serve the spread with crackers, bread, or fruit: This spread is perfect for a party or potluck. Serve it with your favorite crackers, bread, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Texas Red Grapefruit and Cheese Spread is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh grapefruit, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and a few other simple ingredients. This spread can be made ahead of time and chilled, making it a great option for busy hosts.
