Ingredients

• 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
• 1 Orange
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 Apple (Granny Smith or similar tart variety)
• 0.25 cup Pecans, chopped (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly under cold water and set them aside to drain.

Step 2

Wash the orange and use a fine grater or zester to remove the zest. Set the zest aside, then slice the orange in half and juice it into a small bowl.

Step 3

Core and dice the apple into small chunks (no need to peel, unless preferred).

Step 4

In a food processor, combine the cranberries, diced apple, orange zest, and orange juice. Pulse the mixture a few times until the cranberries and apples are coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; you want a relish-like texture, not a puree.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped pecans (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

Step 6

Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding a little more sugar, if necessary.

Step 7

Cover the relish and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Serve chilled as a side dish or condiment for roasted meats, or use it as a topping for desserts. Enjoy!
