How to Make Baked Cranberry Relish

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil or a lid.
  4. Bake for 1 hour, or until cranberries have burst and released their juices.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
