Cranberry Apple Relish
This no-cook cranberry apple relish comes together in minutes with a food processor, then chills to let the bright, tart-sweet flavors meld. It's the perfect make-ahead condiment to cut through rich holiday dishes, with a chunky texture that beats any canned version.
Ingredients
- 1 small navel orange
- 1 small Honeycrisp apple
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Cut the ends off the orange, slice into eight segments, and remove any seeds.
- Core the apple and roughly chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Add orange segments, apple, cranberries, and sugar to a food processor.
- Pulse until finely chopped with visible texture, like chunky salsa.
- Scrape down the sides halfway through for even chopping.
- Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Pulse just until chunky; over-processing makes it mushy.
- Chill at least 20 minutes for best flavor balance.
- Cut fruit fresh just before blending to prevent browning.
- Remove all orange seeds to avoid bitterness.
- Keeps in the fridge up to 1 week or freeze for 3 months.
