Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 cup orange juice
- 3 quarters of a cup granulated sugar
- 1 half of a cup water
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly under running water and drain them. Set aside.
Step 2
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger until you have 1 tablespoon. Also, zest the orange to measure 1 teaspoon and juice it to make 1 cup of orange juice.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the orange juice, water, and granulated sugar. Stir the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add the cranberries to the saucepan, followed by the grated ginger, orange zest, ground cinnamon, and a small pinch of salt.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Continue to cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the mixture starts to thicken.
Step 6
Use a spoon to gently mash some of the cranberries for a chunkier texture, or leave them whole for a smoother consistency.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the relish to cool completely. The relish will thicken further as it cools.
Step 8
Transfer the cooled cranberry ginger relish to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Step 9
Serve the cranberry ginger relish chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or topping.
