Ingredients

• 12 ounces fresh cranberries
• 1.5 cups pitted frozen cherries
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups orange juice
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 0.25 cups water
• 0.125 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and drain the fresh cranberries. If the cherries are clumped together, separate them into individual pieces.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the cranberries, cherries, granulated sugar, orange juice, orange zest, cinnamon, cloves, water, and salt.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for about 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

As the cranberries cook, they will begin to pop and break apart, blending with the cherries to create a thick sauce. Continue cooking until most of the cranberries have burst and the relish reaches a jammy consistency.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the relish to cool to room temperature. The mixture will thicken further as it cools.

Step 7

Transfer the cranberry cherry relish to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving, to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve chilled or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, turkey, or as a topping for crackers and cheese.
