How do you make cranberry relish?

  1. Wash the cranberries and orange.
  2. Cut the orange into quarters. Do not peel the orange. Remove the seeds if needed. 
  3. Chop the cranberries and orange in the bowl of a food processor until chunky.
  4. Add sugar. Pulse until almost fine.
  5. Taste. Stir in additional sugar as needed.
  6. Chill overnight.

What’s the difference between cranberry sauce and cranberry relish?

Heat! Seriously. Cranberry sauce is cooked. Cranberry relish isn’t.

Can you add nuts to cranberry relish?

Yes! It’s a good idea to chop the nuts and stir them into the relish right before serving. To make this easy, place the nuts in the bowl of the food processor. Pulse until fine. Remove nuts from the food processor and store in a container until ready to serve. Then make the cranberry relish.

Can I sweeten cranberry relish with maple syrup?

Yes. It’s easy to replace the sugar with maple syrup. If you chose to do this, keep two things in mind: maple syrup is sweeter than granulated sugar. Replace the granulated sugar with half the amount of maple syrup and adjust sweetness as needed.

How long does cranberry relish last?

Good question! It lasts a surprisingly long time. Place the cranberry relish in a covered glass or plastic container. Keep in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days.

Can I freeze cranberry relish?

Yes. Freeze the relish in a freezer or bag. Freeze cranberry relish for up to two months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

How far in advance can cranberry relish be made?

You should prepare the cranberry relish at least the night before serving or up to three days.
