  2. Cranberry Relish Recipe

Cranberries are probably last on your priority list for Thanksgiving. I understand: you have the turkey, stuffing, sides, and dessert, so it seems just as easy to open a can of cranberry-like jelly and dump it on a plate. I hope I made that sound as unappetizing as possible because there are so many good options for a cranberry side!

This year, I’m making my favorite relish full of cranberries, apples, oranges, and some lime. With tart, sweet, and bright flavors, this is such a refreshing change from the norm and is delicious with the turkey…or with everything!

This can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. It’s so simple yet so delicious. I seriously eat this like a salad! Enjoy!

Prep Time 35 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 10

Ingredients

  • 3 crisp sweet apples (Honeycrisp preferred)
  • 1 lime
  • 4 cups fresh cranberries
  • zest of one orange
  • 3 oranges
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger
  • ½-1 cup white granulated sugar (depends on the sweetness of apples)

Instructions
 

  • Chop apples, removing the core.
  • Remove the peel from the lime and chop it into pieces.
  • Place apples in a food processor and add prepared lime. Pulse until slightly broken down to about pea-size pieces. Do not process to mush! Pour apples into a large bowl.
  • Process cranberries by pulsing to the same size as apples. You may need to scrape sides of the food processor to evenly chop. Pour cranberries into the bowl with apples.
  • Zest one orange directly over apples and cranberries. Remove peels of oranges and chop, removing any seeds. Stir into relish.
  • Peel ginger with the back of a spoon and finely grate into relish.
  • Finish with sugar to taste and mix well.
