Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1 large grapefruit (peeled and segmented)
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.25 cup fresh orange juice
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries under cool running water and set them aside to drain.
Peel the grapefruit and separate it into segments, removing any seeds and membranes. Cut the segments into small pieces and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, orange juice, and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the fresh cranberries to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 8-10 minutes, or until the cranberries begin to burst.
Stir in the grapefruit pieces, orange zest, honey, grated ginger, and ground cinnamon. Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to blend.
Remove the saucepan from heat and transfer the mixture to a bowl. Let the relish cool to room temperature before serving.
For best results, refrigerate the cranberry grapefruit relish for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
