How to Make Spiced Cranberry Fig Relish

  1. Combine 12 ounces fresh cranberries, 8 ounces fresh figs (chopped), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1 tablespoon grated orange zest, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer gently for 8-12 minutes, or until the cranberries have popped and the relish has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely. The relish will thicken further as it cools.
  5. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve alongside your favorite holiday dishes.
