Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Rinse the fresh cranberries under cold water and remove any stems or blemished berries. Chop the pecans and zest the orange.

  2. 2

    Cook the Cranberries

    In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, water, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Add Orange Flavor

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the orange juice and zest. Stir well and let simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens.

  4. 4

    Add Pecans

    Stir in the chopped pecans and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  5. 5

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from heat and let the relish cool to room temperature. Transfer to a serving dish or jar and refrigerate until ready to serve.
