I serve this relish with Roasted Turkey Breast or Pineapple Brown Sugar Ham for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

If you are a big cranberries fan like me, you will love this relish recipe! It’s bursting with flavors from the fresh cranberries, apple and orange. I spice it with cloves and ginger and sweeten with sugar or honey. This relish is a perfect holiday side dish idea that can be prepared last-minute as it only takes 10 minutes to make.

Ingredients:

• fresh cranberries
• one apple
• one orange
• sugar or honey
• ground cloves
• ground ginger

How to make Cranberry Relish?

• Start by chopping each fruit in a food processor. I used a mini food processor and chopped cranberries first, then apples and then orange.
• Mix everything with sugar and spices.
• Serve right away or cover with saran wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Storing:

I recommend storing it in a covered container in the fridge. It will stay fresh longer.

How long does it last?

While cranberry relish is best served the same day it is prepared, fresh relish can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. It may release juice while it refrigerates that will collect at the bottom, so keep that in mind.
