Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1 large orange
- 1 medium apple (Granny Smith preferred)
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
- 0.5 cups pecans (optional, chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly and set them aside to drain.
Step 2
Cut the orange into quarters (leave the peel on), and remove any seeds. Chop the quarters into smaller chunks for easier processing.
Step 3
Peel, core, and chop the apple into small chunks.
Step 4
In a food processor, pulse the cranberries, orange chunks (with peel), and apple until finely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; the mixture should still have some texture.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 6
Add the granulated sugar to the bowl and stir well to evenly coat the fruit. Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7
Stir in the drained crushed pineapple until evenly combined. If using, fold in the chopped pecans for added crunch and flavor.
Step 8
Cover the relish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to fully develop.
Step 9
Serve chilled as a side dish or condiment. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
