Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1 large orange
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 medium apple
- 0.33 cup pecans (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly under cold water and drain them well.
Step 2
Wash the orange thoroughly to remove any wax or dirt. Cut the orange into quarters and remove any seeds, but leave the peel on.
Step 3
Core and roughly chop the apple into smaller pieces. There's no need to peel it.
Step 4
In a food processor, combine the cranberries, orange quarters (with peel), and apple pieces. Pulse several times to coarsely chop the ingredients. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 5
Add the granulated sugar to the food processor and pulse again until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. The relish should be finely chopped but not pureed.
Step 6
If desired, stir in pecans for a nutty crunch.
Step 7
Transfer the cranberry relish to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or condiment.
