Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1 large grapefruit
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the cranberries thoroughly in cold water and set aside.
Step 2
Peel the grapefruit, removing as much white pith as possible, and separate into segments. Chop the segments into small pieces over a bowl to catch the juice. Reserve both the chopped grapefruit and the juice.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberries, chopped grapefruit, reserved grapefruit juice, granulated sugar, and orange juice.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar. Once the cranberries begin to pop, reduce the heat to medium-low.
Step 5
Add the orange zest, grated fresh ginger, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Simmer the relish for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries break down and the mixture thickens.
Step 7
Remove from heat and allow the relish to cool to room temperature. The mixture will thicken further as it cools.
Step 8
Transfer the cooled relish to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or accompaniment.
