Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 cup kumquats
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Wash the kumquats thoroughly, then slice them into thin rounds and remove any seeds.
Peel the fresh ginger and finely grate or mince it.
In a food processor, combine the cranberries, sliced kumquats, grated ginger, granulated sugar, orange juice, honey, and salt.
Pulse the mixture a few times until everything is finely chopped, but not entirely pureed. The relish should still have some texture.
Taste the relish and adjust sweetness or salt if needed, adding a little more honey or sugar to suit your preference.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover, and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish, topping, or spread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
