Brighten up your holiday table with this vibrant and zesty Cranberry Orange Relish, a no-cook side dish that's bursting with fresh, seasonal flavors. Made with tart cranberries, a whole navel orange (yes, peel included!), and just the right amount of sugar, this quick and easy recipe comes together in just 10 minutes with the help of a food processor. Optional chopped walnuts add a delightful crunch, making it a versatile addition to any festive spread. Perfect as a tangy side, a sweet-tart condiment for roasted meats or sandwiches, or even a topping for desserts, this relish is a crowd-pleaser that marries bold flavors with effortless preparation.
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.
