For the Relish

12 oz Fresh cranberries Substitution Note: Frozen cranberries can be used but may alter texture.
1 cup Freshly squeezed orange juice Substitution Note: Lemon juice can be used for a different citrus profile.
1/4 cup Honey or Maple Syrup Substitution Note: Agave syrup can be used as a vegan alternative.
1 tbsp Fresh Ginger Preparation Note: Use grated fresh ginger for the best flavor.
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon Optional Note: Consider adding nutmeg for additional warmth.

Directions

Begin by rinsing the fresh cranberries under cold water. Remove any bad berries to ensure your relish is fresh and vibrant.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the rinsed cranberries, freshly squeezed orange juice, honey or maple syrup, grated ginger, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to mix all the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the cranberries pop open, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once done, remove the saucepan from heat and allow the relish to cool slightly. Afterward, transfer it to a serving bowl to let the flavors develop.
For the best experience, serve your homemade cranberry relish chilled—perfect as an accompaniment to turkey, sandwiches, or even cheese plates.
