Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1 cup raisins
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and drain well.
In a medium saucepan, combine orange juice, water, and granulated sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the fresh cranberries, raisins, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and orange zest.
Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cook until the cranberries have burst and the mixture has thickened to a relish-like consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the relish cool to room temperature.
Transfer the cooled relish to a clean container or jar and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a condiment for roasted meats, spread for sandwiches, or accompaniment for cheese platters.
