Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 12-oz. bag of fresh cranberries
- 1 apple (I like Fuji for this recipe!)
- 1/2 an orange, unpeeled
- 1/4-1/3 cup organic cane sugar*
Instructions
- Chop fruit. Cut apple into chunks and discard the core, then halve the orange half.
- Blend in food processor. Place all ingredients in a food processor (or high speed blender) and process until a well-chopped, relish consistency forms (45 seconds - 1 minute will do).
- Taste and adjust sugar. Move relish to a medium bowl, serving dish, or container that you'll use to store in fridge. Taste and stir in more sugar to taste.
- Chill. Chill the cranberry relish until you're ready to use.
Notes
- Store or Freeze: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. To freeze, store in an airtight container with little space available for expansion, and freeze for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
- Sugar: I rarely use cane sugar, but for this recipe, I make an exception! I like the resulting cranberry relish consistency better than when I use a liquid sweetener. That said, a lightly flavored natural sweetener such as agave would work. Note that a liquid sweetener will change the resulting texture to be more runny.
