Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1 large grapefruit
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries thoroughly in cold water and set aside.
Peel the grapefruit, removing as much white pith as possible, and separate into segments. Chop the segments into small pieces over a bowl to catch the juice. Reserve both the chopped grapefruit and the juice.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberries, chopped grapefruit, reserved grapefruit juice, granulated sugar, and orange juice.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar. Once the cranberries begin to pop, reduce the heat to medium-low.
Add the orange zest, grated fresh ginger, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Simmer the relish for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries break down and the mixture thickens.
Remove from heat and allow the relish to cool to room temperature. The mixture will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the cooled relish to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or accompaniment.
