How to Make Zesty Fresh Orange Zest Cranberry Relish
  1. Start by rinsing the fresh cranberries under cool water. Remove any damaged or shriveled ones.
  2. In a medium-sized saucepan, add the fresh cranberries, granulated sugar, fresh orange juice, and the cinnamon stick.
  3. Heat the mixture over medium heat. Stir occasionally until it reaches a gentle simmer. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries burst.
  4. Once bubbling, take the saucepan off the heat. Gently stir in the orange zest.
  5. Allow the relish to cool at room temperature, then transfer to an airtight container.
  6. Present your Zesty Cranberry Relish in a lovely bowl.
