Rinse the cranberries and raspberries under cold water, and set them aside to drain.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, granulated sugar, grated ginger, orange juice, orange zest, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a light boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the cranberries start to burst and the mixture thickens slightly.
Gently fold in the raspberries and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, being careful to keep some of the raspberries whole for texture.
Remove the relish from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Transfer the relish to a serving dish or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish, condiment, or topping.
