Do’s and Don’ts
DO:
- Use a sweet orange like navel or Cara Cara for a balanced flavor.
- Let the relish rest for at least an hour—overnight is even better for enhanced flavor.
- Experiment! Add a splash of Grand Marnier or orange juice for an extra citrus kick.
DON’T:
- Overprocess the mixture; you want small bits, not a smoothie.
- Skip the sugar entirely—cranberries are naturally tart and need a sweet balance.
- Forget to taste and adjust—it’s all about personal preference!
Serving Ideas:
- Classic: Pair with roasted turkey or chicken.
- Creative: Spread on sandwiches (hello, next-day Thanksgiving panini!).
- Sweet Treat: Dollop over vanilla ice cream or pound cake.
This cranberry-orange relish is the perfect combination of tangy, sweet, and zesty. It’s ridiculously easy to make and will add a burst of color and flavor to your table. Plus, no cooking means one less thing to worry about! 🍊🍇
