Ingredients

• 12 ounces fresh cranberries
• 1 orange (medium, preferably seedless)
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and drain well.

Step 2

Wash the orange thoroughly and cut it into quarters. Leave the peel on, but remove any visible seeds.

Step 3

In a food processor, add the cranberries and orange quarters.

Step 4

Pulse the ingredients several times until the mixture is coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; you want a relish with texture.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and stir in the granulated sugar. Taste and, if desired, add honey for extra sweetness or cinnamon for a hint of spice.

Step 6

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the relish for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Overnight refrigeration is even better.

Step 7

Serve chilled as a side dish or use it as a vibrant topping for roasted turkey, chicken, or pork.
