Cranberry Relish
Thanksgiving and Christmas wouldn't be the same
without cranberry relish. Here is a quick and easy recipe that is made
primarily from fresh fruits. This is a great recipe to get your kids
to help you on. Make it a family tradition to make the holiday
cranberry relish.
Ingredients
2 cups Or 1 package of fresh cranberries,
washed and sorted
1
Fresh orange
1 Fresh,
crisp apple
1 Tbsp Grated orange peel
1/8 cup Sugar (or more depending on how sweet you like it)
1/4 cup Coarsely chopped pecan nuts
Directions
Rinse the fresh cranberries and remove any that are not solid and
good. Core and chop the apple in big chunks. Grate a tablespoon or
more of fresh orange peel. Then peel the orange and divide into
sections. In a food chopper (or blender) put in a cup of cranberries,
half of the fresh orange sections, and half of the chopped apples.
Chop to a medium fine consistency (don't make it too fine or it turns
into mush). If using a blender and you need a little liquid, put in a
small amount of fresh orange juice. When finished, dump into a bowl
and repeat with the rest of the cranberries, apples, and oranges. Dump
into the bowl.
Finally stir in the orange peel and sugar. Taste to
see if it is sweet enough or if it needs more sugar. If needed, add
more sugar to meet your taste. I like it a little tart, others like it
sweeter. With the apple and orange, it doesn't require too much sugar.
Put it in the fridge to chill before serving. Setting in the fridge
overnight seems to make it even better. Stir in the chopped pecans
just before serving. Serve in a pretty bowl. You can garnish it with
mint leaves or simple put a few pecan halves on top. Enjoy!
