Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup orange juice
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries and blueberries under cold water and set them aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice and granulated sugar. Stir over medium heat until the sugar completely dissolves, about 2 minutes.
Add the cranberries to the saucepan and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries start to pop.
Stir in the blueberries, orange zest, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries soften and the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the relish to cool to room temperature. The mixture will thicken further as it cools.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
