Cranberry Orange Relish.

Thanksgiving is next week and this is one of my favorite recipes.  So easy, yet so flavorful.  I love cranberries and oranges together.  Perfect as a side or on your leftover turkey sandwiches.  My youngest daughter loves to make this dish – so it’s totally kid-friendly.  Great way to get everyone to pitch in and help with dinner prep.  Also, this can be made up to 4 days in advance and stored in the fridge.

Ingredients:

2 bags of fresh cranberries, washed
2 large orange or 6 smaller oranges
3/4 cup of sugar

Directions:

Over a medium flame, place one bag of your cranberries in a medium sized saucepan.  Zest one orange or 3 smaller and add that to the pan as well, along with the sugar and the juice from the entire orange.  Cover and let cook for 4-5 minutes.  Then remove from the heat.

In a food processor, add the second bag of cranberries and the remaining orange segments (either from one large orange or from 3 smaller).  Pulse until finely chopped.

Once the hot mixture cools, blend with the food processor mixture and give a good stir.  Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
