How to Make Cranberry Fig Relish

  1. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and grated ginger; cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the orange juice and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Add half of the cranberries and the chopped dried figs (if using). Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries begin to pop and the mixture slightly thickens (about 8-10 minutes).
  5. Stir in the remaining cranberries and continue to cook until most of the berries have popped and the relish has reached your desired consistency (another 5-7 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the orange zest.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Let cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
