Ingredients needed
Cranberries: You’ll need one 16-oz bag of fresh cranberries.
Orange: Half of a large orange adds lots of fresh orange flavor. Remove the peel and coarsely chop the orange.
Apple: Use one medium-sized crisp, sweet apple. Honeycrisp, Fuji, Pink Lady, or Gala all work well here.
Sugar: The added sugar is necessary to make the cranberries palatable. Add just enough to make it sweet but still keep some of the tart flavor.
Recipe overview
In order to get the proper “relish” consistency this recipe is made in a food processor. Pulse the ingredients several times, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is broken down into very small pieces, but not pureed.
