Rinse the cranberries thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Stir in the cranberries, orange zest, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries start to burst and the mixture begins to thicken.
Add the raspberries to the saucepan and stir gently. Simmer the mixture for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the raspberries break down slightly but still retain some texture.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the relish to cool to room temperature. The mixture will continue to thicken as it cools.
Transfer the relish to a serving dish or an airtight container. If desired, refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
