Description

A vibrant medley of tart cranberries and sweet pomegranate seeds, this relish adds a festive burst of flavor to any holiday meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces fresh cranberries
  • 1 medium pomegranate (about 1 cup of seeds)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • Zest from 1 orange
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 cinnamon stick

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Rinse the cranberries under cold water, discarding any wrinkly or mushy ones. Cut open the pomegranate and extract the seeds.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cranberries, pomegranate seeds, sugar, orange juice, orange zest, and the cinnamon stick.
  3. Cook Down: Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until cranberries start popping and the mixture thickens.
  4. Cool It Down: Remove from heat and discard the cinnamon stick. Allow the relish to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  5. Chill Out: Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least two hours before serving—overnight is even better!
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve alongside your holiday feast or enjoy with cream cheese on crackers as an appetizer.
