Cranberry Relish

Prep Time 20 mins
Cook Time 45 mins
Total Time 1 hr 5 mins
Course Side Dish
Cuisine American
Servings 3 cups

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups raw cranberries rinsed
  • 2 skinned and cored tart green apples, cut into thick slices
  • 1 large whole (peel ON) seedless orange, cut into sections
  • 1 to 2 cups granulated white sugar depending on how sweet you would like your relish to be

Instructions
 

Basics

  • If you are using an old fashioned grinder, use the medium-sized grinder plate and set the grinder on the edge of a table with a large bowl or pan to catch the fruit mix as it is ground. Old fashioned grinders tend to leak juice down the grinder base, so you may want to set up a bowl underneath to catch the drips.
  • If you don't have an old fashioned grinder, you can use the grinder attachment to a KitchenAid mixer, or you can use a food processor. If you use a food processor, be careful not to over-pulse! Or you'll have mush instead of relish.
  • You can also just chop very finely by hand, but that's difficult, especially with the cranberries.

Relish

  • Push the cranberries, orange sections, and apple slices through the grinder. Include the orange peel! Alternate the fruit as you push it through the grinder so that different fruits get ground together.
  • Stir in the sugar. (Start with less than a cup and keep adding 1/4 cups until you reach your desired level of sweetness.) Let sit at room temperature until the sugar dissolves, about 45 minutes. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Notes

Posted by Elise on November 24, 2014
You can use either a grinder (an old fashioned one or a KitchenAid attachment) or a food processor to grind up the relish. We prefer using a grinder to a food processor because a grinder does a better job smooshing the cranberries, orange, and apples together while it cuts them up. But either way will work.
