How to Make Grand Marnier Cranberry Orange Relish

  1. Wash 12 ounces of fresh cranberries and combine them in a heavy-bottomed saucepan with 1 cup of granulated sugar, ½ cup of water, and ½ cup of fresh orange juice.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently, uncovered, until the cranberries begin to pop and the sauce slightly thickens (about 8-10 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup of dried cherries and ¼ cup of Grand Marnier liqueur.
  5. Let the relish cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to a week, to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. When ready to serve, gently stir in ½ cup of chopped pecans.
