Ingredients

• 12 ounces fresh cranberries
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans
• 0.5 cup raisins
• 1 piece cinnamon stick
• 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and pick out any mushy or discolored berries. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and orange juice. Place it over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 3

Add the rinsed cranberries, orange zest, cinnamon stick, ground ginger, and ground cloves to the saucepan. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries begin to pop and the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 5

Add the chopped pecans and raisins to the pan. Stir well and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully discard the cinnamon stick.

Step 7

Let the cranberry conserve relish cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.

Step 8

Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. The relish can be served cold or reheated as desired.
