Fresh Cranberry Relish Ingredients

  • 12 ounces fresh cranberries
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups crushed pineapple (with juice)
  • 1 orange (zested and peeled)

Instructions

  1. Chop Cranberries: Add 12 ounces of fresh cranberries to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer the chopped cranberries to a medium bowl.
  2. Add Sugar: Stir ¾ cup granulated sugar into the chopped cranberries. Set this mixture aside to allow the sugar to begin dissolving into the cranberries.
  3. Prepare Orange: Zest the orange using a cheese grater. Carefully cut away the skin and as much of the white pith beneath it as possible. Then, segment the orange and remove any seeds. Add the orange segments along with their juice and the collected zest to the food processor.
  4. Chop Orange: Process the orange segments, juice, and zest in the food processor until finely chopped. Transfer this orange mixture to the bowl with the cranberries and sugar, stirring to combine thoroughly.
  5. Add Pineapple: Stir in 2 cups of crushed pineapple along with its juice into the cranberry-orange mixture, mixing well to combine all flavors.
  6. Refrigerate: Cover the relish and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld together for best taste. The relish can be stored refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • The relish tastes best after refrigerating overnight to enhance flavor blending.
  • Use fresh cranberries for the best texture and tartness.
  • Be sure to remove the white pith from the orange to avoid bitterness.
  • This relish is naturally gluten free and can be served with a variety of dishes including turkey, chicken, or as a spread.
  • For longer storage, freezing in an airtight container preserves freshness up to three months.
