About this recipe

I only post recipes that I have tried and verified and are good to my taste — all taste may vary.

Resting overnight mellows the orange peel's bitterness and lets the relish get juicy.

Ingredients

12 oz fresh cranberries
1 navel orange scrubbed, cut in eighths (peel on), seeds removed
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup toasted pecans optional
1 pinch salt

Method

01

Pulse cranberries and orange in a food processor until finely chopped, not puréed.
02

Stir in sugar and salt; refrigerate at least 4 hours so the sugar dissolves.
