Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and set them aside to drain.
Cut the orange into small pieces, leaving the peel on but removing the seeds.
In a food processor, combine the cranberries and orange pieces. Pulse until coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; you want the relish to have some texture.
Transfer the chopped cranberry-orange mixture to a mixing bowl.
Add the granulated sugar to the bowl and stir well to combine. Adjust the sugar to taste if you prefer a sweeter relish.
If desired, fold in the chopped pecans for added crunch and flavor.
Cover the bowl and let the cranberry relish sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish, condiment, or spread. Enjoy!
