How to Make Ginger Cranberry Relish

  1. Combine 1 cup fresh cranberries, 1/2 cup chopped fresh ginger, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup orange juice, and 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional) in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the relish has thickened slightly.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the zest and juice of 1 large orange.
  4. Let the relish cool slightly before proceeding to the next step.
  5. For a smoother relish, carefully transfer to a food processor and pulse a few times until desired consistency is reached. (Optional)
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. The relish will thicken further as it chills.
