Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1.5 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, finely chopped (optional)
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries under cold water and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, orange juice, water, and granulated sugar. Stir well.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries start to burst and the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature for about 5 minutes.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries, orange zest, and fresh mint leaves (if using). Stir until evenly combined.
Taste the relish and adjust sweetness by adding a little more sugar if desired.
Transfer the relish to a bowl or container and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with roasted turkey, ham, or as a topping for crackers and cream cheese.
