How to Make Cranberry Orange Relish

  1. Combine 12 ounces fresh cranberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup finely chopped orange zest, and 1/4 cup chopped red onion in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, or until most of the cranberry skins have popped and the relish has thickened slightly, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely. The relish will thicken further as it cools.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup slivered almonds before serving (optional).
  6. Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  7. Serve as a festive side dish with your Thanksgiving turkey or as a unique and flavorful salad atop fresh lettuce leaves.
