This Fresh Cranberry Relish is a vibrant, zesty condiment perfect for adding a burst of flavor to your holiday table or any meal. Made with fresh cranberries, sweet crushed pineapple, and the bright citrus flavor of orange, this no-cook relish is easy to prepare and offers the perfect balance of tartness and sweetness.

Ingredients

Fresh Fruit

  • 12 ounces fresh cranberries
  • 2 cups crushed pineapple (drained)
  • 1 orange, peeled and seeded

Sweetener

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Orange: Peel the orange, remove all seeds, and cut it into quarters for easier processing.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a food processor, add the fresh cranberries, crushed pineapple, orange quarters, and granulated sugar.
  3. Pulse to Desired Consistency: Pulse the mixture several times until the cranberries and fruit are finely chopped but still maintain some texture. Avoid over-processing to keep a fresh relish feel.
  4. Chill the Relish: Transfer the relish to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the sugar to slightly dissolve, enhancing the taste.
  5. Serve: Serve chilled as a tangy and sweet accompaniment to meats, sandwiches, or holiday dishes.

Notes

  • For a smoother relish, pulse longer in the food processor.
  • Adjust sugar according to your preferred sweetness.
  • This relish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or ginger for extra warmth and spice.
  • Drain the crushed pineapple well to avoid excess liquid in the relish.
