Ingredients
- 2 large Vidalia onions
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Peel and finely dice the Vidalia onions.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the diced Vidalia onions, fresh cranberries, granulated sugar, orange juice, orange zest, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, salt, and water.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
As the cranberries cook, they will soften and burst. Use a wooden spoon to help mash them slightly for a smoother texture, or leave them whole for a chunkier relish.
Step 6
Once the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency, remove the saucepan from heat.
Step 7
Let the relish cool to room temperature. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 8
Transfer the Vidalia Onion Cranberry Relish to a serving bowl or an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a condiment or side dish, and enjoy!
