Description

This vibrant Cranberry Orange Relish is a fresh and zesty condiment perfect for holiday meals or anytime you want a burst of tangy, sweet, and spicy flavors. Combining fresh cranberries, juicy orange segments, grated ginger, and warming spices, this no-cook relish is quickly pulsed to a chunky consistency and chilled to develop its bright color and melded flavors. It’s an easy make-ahead recipe that pairs beautifully with turkey, chicken, or roasted vegetables.

Ingredients

Fruits and Fresh Ingredients

  • 2 oranges
  • 1 inch fresh ginger (2.5 cm, peeled and grated)
  • 1 bag fresh cranberries (12 oz., 340g)

Other Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar (25g, packed)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (2.6g)
  • ⅛ tsp salt (0.75g)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oranges: Zest one orange to capture its aromatic peel, then use the suprême technique to segment both oranges by removing the ends to create flat surfaces. Carefully follow the curve of the orange with a knife to remove all skin and pith, then cut along the natural segment lines to release the juicy orange segments, ensuring pith and membranes are left behind. Squeeze out any remaining juice from the leftover skins and membranes to maximize flavor.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Place the orange segments, grated fresh ginger, fresh cranberries, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt into a food processor, assembling all flavors needed for the relish in one bowl.
  3. Pulse to Relish Consistency: Pulse the mixture a few times in the food processor until the ingredients form a chunky relish consistency, avoiding pulverizing it completely to maintain texture.
  4. Chill to Meld Flavors: Transfer the relish into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld together fully. The vibrant red color of the cranberries will intensify during this time, enhancing its fresh appearance.
  5. Serve: Enjoy the cranberry orange relish chilled as a zingy, aromatic condiment alongside poultry, roast dishes, or even as a spread on sandwiches.

Notes

  • The suprême technique for cutting oranges ensures no bitter pith is included and provides neat, juicy segments.
  • Letting the relish rest allows the natural colors and flavors to intensify and blend beautifully.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegan.
  • You can adjust the amount of brown sugar to your preferred sweetness level.
  • Fresh ginger adds a warm, spicy kick but can be omitted for a milder flavor.
  • Use a food processor capable of pulsing to get the ideal relish texture without overblending.
