Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1 large orange
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.5 cups water
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and set them aside to drain.
Using a zester or fine grater, zest the orange to obtain about 1 teaspoon of orange zest. Then, cut the orange in half and juice it to yield approximately 1/4 cup of orange juice.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, orange juice, orange zest, granulated sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the relish cool to room temperature. The relish will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the cooled cranberry relish to a serving bowl or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Serve the tangy cranberry relish chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or condiment.
