Ingredients
  

For the Relish

How to Make Vibrant Zesty Citrus and Cranberry Relish
  1. Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water, discarding any mushy ones.
  2. Zest one orange and juice both oranges, measuring the juice for later use.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberries, orange juice, water, granulated sugar, and orange zest. Stir until cranberries begin to pop, about 5-10 minutes.
  4. Once the cranberries have burst, remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
