How to Make Slow Cooker Cranberry Relish

  1. Zest one orange using a microplane or fine grater, setting aside the zest.
  2. Peel and pith one orange, discarding the peel and pith. Cut the peeled orange segments into small (1/2-inch) chunks.
  3. Add 12 ounces (1 1/2 cups) fresh cranberries, the orange chunks, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and the reserved orange zest to your slow cooker.
  4. Add 1/4 cup water to the slow cooker.
  5. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours, or until the cranberries have burst and the relish has thickened slightly. Stir halfway through cooking.
  6. Allow to cool slightly before serving. The relish will thicken further as it cools.
