Cranberry-Orange Relish with Ginger
- 12 oz fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 large orange (zested and juiced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup (or to taste)
- 2–3 tablespoons water (if needed for consistency)
1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Rinse the cranberries and pick out any soft or damaged ones.
- Zest the orange, then juice it to yield about 1/4 cup of juice.
2. Cook the Relish:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, orange juice, orange zest, grated ginger, and maple syrup.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries begin to pop and break down (about 8–10 minutes).
3. Adjust Consistency:
- If the mixture is too thick, add 2–3 tablespoons of water to reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if needed.
4. Cool and Serve:
- Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Serve as a side dish, or chill in the fridge for a firmer texture.
Serving Suggestions:
Pair this vibrant relish with roasted veggies, lentil loaves, or as a topping for plant-based burgers or grain bowls. The tartness of the cranberries, the citrusy brightness of orange, and the warmth of ginger make this a festive addition to your table! 🌟
