Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
- 1 navel orange (with peel)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup walnuts (optional, for extra texture)
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries under cold water and discard any that are soft or damaged.
Wash the navel orange thoroughly to remove any wax or residues. Cut the orange into chunks, leaving the peel on, and remove any seeds.
Place the cranberries and orange chunks into a food processor. Pulse several times until the mixture is finely chopped but not pureed. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Add the granulated sugar to the mixture and pulse a few more times to evenly distribute the sweetness. Taste the relish and adjust the sugar if desired.
If using walnuts, roughly chop them and stir them into the mixture for added texture and flavor.
Transfer the relish to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish, condiment, or topping.
