Cranberry orange relish
Oh, one of the things that I love about visiting my grandparents on the Washington coast is the drive. From the time I was a little girl, on those summer visits from Arkansas, I had memorized the road to Grandma’s house. Twenty minutes from our destination, we passed the Ocean Spray factory, knee deep in bog. It was the looming indicator that signaled the official beginning of the beach trip.
Planning for our cross-country trip brings such fond memories that I dug out my recipe for cranberry relish. Like so many others before me, I use oranges in my relish.
This relish also bottles up beautifully, and makes an excellent and often, much needed hostess gift during the holiday season.
Ingredients:
3 cups fresh whole cranberries
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons orange zest, (grated)
1/2 cup water
Combine all ingredients in a non-reactive saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until cranberries pop (about 5 minutes). Let cool and serve.
This recipe may be made ahead and refrigerated, covered, for up to one week before serving. Makes approximately 2 cups
