How to Make Cranberry Rhubarb Relish
- Combine 12 ounces fresh cranberries, 1 pound rhubarb (chopped into 1/2-inch pieces), 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup chopped fresh ginger, and 1/4 cup water in a large saucepan.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture begins to bubble. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Increase the heat to medium and bring to a gentle boil. Continue to stir frequently to prevent sticking. Boil until the cranberries have popped and the rhubarb is tender, about 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon lemon zest and 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
- Cover the saucepan and let the relish stand for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Transfer the relish to a clean glass jar or bowl. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop and the relish to chill completely. Enjoy!
- (Optional) For a thicker relish, simmer uncovered for a few minutes longer after the cranberries have popped.
