How to Make Jellied Cranberry Beet Relish

  1. Combine 12 ounces fresh cranberries, 1/2 cup water, and 1/4 cup orange juice in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until most cranberries have burst and softened.
  3. While cranberries simmer, sprinkle 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup orange juice in a small bowl. Let stand for 1 minute to soften.
  4. Add the softened gelatin mixture and 1/2 cup granulated sugar to the cranberry mixture. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the sugar is fully incorporated.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup cooked and diced beets, 1/2 cup finely chopped celery, and 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion.
  6. Pour the mixture into a rinsed 4-cup mold or deep bowl.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
  8. To unmold, dip the bottom of the mold into hot water for about 20 seconds. Invert onto a serving plate.
