Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 2 cups fresh pineapple
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.5 cups orange juice
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.125 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries under cold water and set aside.
Peel, core, and finely dice the fresh pineapple to yield 2 cups.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberries, diced pineapple, granulated sugar, orange zest, orange juice, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt.
Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries begin to pop and break down, about 10-12 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the relish for an additional 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove from heat and let the relish cool to room temperature. The relish will thicken as it cools.
Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
