How to Make Cranberry Grapefruit Relish

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Add 12 ounces fresh cranberries to the boiling syrup.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cranberry skins begin to pop and burst (about 10-15 minutes).
  5. Remove from heat and let the cranberry mixture cool completely.
  6. While the cranberries are cooling, peel and section 1 large grapefruit, removing all the white pith. Cut the grapefruit segments into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Once the cranberries have cooled, gently fold in the grapefruit segments.
  8. Stir well to combine the cranberries and grapefruit.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature in a glass compote dish for optimal color and presentation. Leftovers are delicious and will keep well in the refrigerator for several days!
