Quick Cranberry Side Dish (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 whole orange, medium-sized
02 -
12 oz fresh cranberries (roughly 2 cups)
03 -
3/4 cup white sugar
04 -
1/4 tsp salt
# Instructions:
01 -
Trim off both ends of the orange so you can see the flesh inside. Keep the peel on and chop the orange into 8 wedges. Pick out any seeds you spot.
02 -
Toss the orange wedges into your food processor and give it 4 or 5 quick pulses until the pieces are roughly chopped up.
03 -
Add the cranberries, sugar, and salt to the processor. Pulse everything together 6 to 8 more times until you get a finely minced mixture without any big chunks.
04 -
Scoop the relish into a serving bowl and pop it in the fridge for at least an hour, or leave it overnight. This lets all the flavors blend together and helps the sugar dissolve completely.
# Notes:
01 -
This fresh relish tastes even better when made a day ahead, giving the flavors more time to develop.
02 -
The orange peel adds a wonderful citrus brightness and texture to the finished relish.
