Cranberry Orange Relish


2 large oranges, peeled and seeded
1 lb bag of cranberries
2 apples, cored, and diced with peel
1 cup of sugar

Directions

  1. Take the yellow peel from oranges; trim off and discard white part. Put orange pulp and yellow peel, cranberries, and apples through food chopper. Add sugar and mix well.
  2. Cover and refrigerate. Or pour into glass jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Seal and freeze


    I put in canning jars and sealed. Made about 6 cups+

variation - nuts might be nice addition and cinnamon and ginger too. This one is cooked, unlike the first.

A delicious cranberry chutney with apples, oranges, golden raisins, and spices, perfect alongside pork, turkey, and chicken main dishes.

  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 8 minutes, or until cranberries are bursting. Chill until serving time; freeze surplus in small containers. Makes about about 4 cups of chutney.
