Ingredients

• 2 seedless oranges, rinsed and zested

• 3 cups fresh cranberries, rinsed (see Chef’s Notes)

• ⅓ cup granulated sugar

• ½ cup chopped crystallized ginger (Penzeys is my favorite)

• ¼ cup mint leaves, minced

Instructions

Prepare the oranges

After removing the zest, peel the pith from each orange with a knife. Cut each orange into eight sections.

Chop the mixture

Combine the orange pieces, zest, and cranberries in a food processor; pulse until coarsely chopped.

Add sweetness and flavor

Add the sugar and ginger, then pulse until just combined.

Finish and chill

Transfer the relish to a small bowl, stir in the mint, and chill until ready to serve.

Serve

Serve: When ready to use, drain (see Chef’s Notes) and enjoy!

Chef’s Notes

If you can’t find fresh cranberries, frozen ones work just as well.

Save the drained liquid to make a refreshing drink with sparkling wine or club soda.
