Cranberry Orange Relish
This is a very easy homemade recipe for a taste-acquiring cranberry- orange relish.
Take 1 package of fresh cranberries and wash, cull (that means toss out the bad ones), and drain. Take two nice juicy naval oranges and wash well and dry. Cut the oranges into quarters and then eighths. Be sure to leave the peel on the oranges as this adds a lot of flavor and vitamins.
Get out your little food chopper or your big food processor. Chop the cranberries and the orange eighths together until they are about the size of rice.
Remove the mixture of chopped cranberies and chopped oranges to a bowl and add sugar to taste. Probably about 1 Cup, but add it slowly and taste it as you add the sugar so you don’t make it tooo sweet.
Store for at least 24 hours before serving. The mixture will darken to a rich “cranberry red” as the sugar settles in. This can also be frozen for several months for later use.
