Fresh Cranberry Orange Relish
Oh boy, do we have a vibrant feast for the eyes! Just look at that colorful concoction waiting to be devoured!
Here’s what you’ll need to jazz up your dining experience:
Ingredients
- 12 ounces of fresh cranberries
- 1 large orange (whole, zested and juiced)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for that warm hug of spice)
- 1 tablespoon of chopped pecans (optional, but why not add a little crunch?)
Now that we’ve gathered our colorful companions, it’s time to make some magic happen!
Instructions
- Rinse those cranberries under cool water and give them a little pep talk to prepare them for their fabulous transformation.
- In a food processor, toss in the cranberries, the zest of that orange, and half of the sugar. Pulse them until they’re finely chopped, but not mushy. Think of it like creating a nice cranberry confetti!
- Scrape down the sides, add your orange juice, the remaining sugar, cinnamon, and pecans if you fancy a little crunch.
- Pulse again until everything is well blended. This is where the flavors start to mingle and throw a little party!
- Taste it! Adjust the sugar according to your taste buds. If it’s too tart, throw in a little more sugar. Remember, you’re the boss here!
- Transfer your relish into a serving bowl or a fancy glass dish to impress your guests. Cover that masterpiece and let it sit in the refrigerator for a few hours (or overnight) to allow those flavors to party. The longer, the better!
- Before serving, give it a little stir and present it with pride. Look at that red and orange beauty!
Now, you’re all set to be the star of the show! Enjoy this fresh cranberry orange relish, and watch it disappear faster than you can say “Happy Holidays!”
