Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 1 piece cinnamon stick
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and pick out any mushy or discolored berries. Set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and orange juice. Place it over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the rinsed cranberries, orange zest, cinnamon stick, ground ginger, and ground cloves to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries begin to pop and the mixture thickens slightly.
Add the chopped pecans and raisins to the pan. Stir well and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully discard the cinnamon stick.
Let the cranberry conserve relish cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.
Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. The relish can be served cold or reheated as desired.
