Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large Orange (unpeeled)
  • ½ cup Granny Smith apple (cored and sliced)
  • 12 ounces Fresh cranberries (rinsed)
  • ½ cup Granulated white sugar
  • ¼ cup Dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Lime zest (~½ a lime)

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Blender
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Peeler
  • Chef's Knife

Method
 

  1. Use a knife to cut the orange into 8 even pieces, keeping the peel on.
  2. Place the orange pieces and the Granny Smith apple slices into a food processor or blender. Pulse 4 to 5 times to begin the chopping process.
  3. Add the fresh cranberries, granulated white sugar, dark brown sugar, and lime zest into the food processor. Pulse about 8 to 10 times until it looks finely chopped.
  4. Scoop into a large dish or bowl that can handle about 4 cups of relish. Cover and refrigerate for an hour to overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Best when served cold.

Notes

  • Storage: You can store this in the refrigerator for up to three days in an airtight container.
  • Freezing: You can also freeze this relish, though you might find that the consistency “melts” a little bit and gets watery as you thaw it. Store for 2-3 months and thaw in the refrigerator.
