Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 2 cups fresh rhubarb, diced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.125 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the cranberries under cold water and discard any that are soft or damaged.
Step 2
Trim and dice the rhubarb into small, uniform pieces.
Step 3
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the orange juice, water, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.
Step 4
Add the cranberries, diced rhubarb, orange zest, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt to the saucepan.
Step 5
Stir the mixture to combine and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the rhubarb softens to form a thick, jam-like consistency.
Step 7
Taste the relish and adjust the sweetness or spice levels as needed.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the relish cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.
Step 9
Transfer the Cranberry Rhubarb Relish to a serving dish or an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 10
Serve cold or at room temperature as a condiment alongside roasted meats, poultry, or as a spread for breads.
