Relish Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cranberries

    Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold running water. Discard any that are mushy or discolored.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed cranberries, port wine, granulated sugar, fresh orange juice, orange zest, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground allspice, and a pinch of salt.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mixture

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir occasionally, ensuring the sugar dissolves completely.

  4. 4

    Simmer and Reduce

    Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries burst and the relish thickens slightly. Stir occasionally.

  5. 5

    Cool Down

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let the relish cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.

  6. 6

    Store and Serve

    Transfer the cooled relish to a clean jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to enhance flavors. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
