Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1 large orange
- 1 medium apple (Granny Smith preferred)
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
- 0.5 cups pecans (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly and set them aside to drain.
Cut the orange into quarters (leave the peel on), and remove any seeds. Chop the quarters into smaller chunks for easier processing.
Peel, core, and chop the apple into small chunks.
In a food processor, pulse the cranberries, orange chunks (with peel), and apple until finely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; the mixture should still have some texture.
Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the granulated sugar to the bowl and stir well to evenly coat the fruit. Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir in the drained crushed pineapple until evenly combined. If using, fold in the chopped pecans for added crunch and flavor.
Cover the relish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to fully develop.
Serve chilled as a side dish or condiment. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
