Homemade Cranberry Relish is a delightful addition to any festive table, bringing a vibrant burst of flavour to your meals. To prepare this simple yet delicious treat, you will need 250g of fresh cranberries, one small orange, finely zested and juiced, and 100g of granulated sugar.
Begin by rinsing the cranberries thoroughly and removing any stems. In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, orange juice, and zest, along with the sugar. Cook over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to bubble. Allow it to simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes, until the cranberries have burst and the relish thickens slightly.
Remove from the heat and let it cool before transferring to a jar. For best results, refrigerate the relish for a few hours or overnight to allow the flavours to meld beautifully. This fresh cranberry relish pairs perfectly with roast meats and adds a delightful tang to your Christmas dinner. Enjoy a taste of tradition with each spoonful!
