Author Notes
This is a great way to zip up your thanksgiving plate. It is a bright fresh counterpart to the often heavy Thanksgiving casseroles. We first made this for Thanksgiving a few years ago and have been tinkering with it ever since. It is especially great as it doesn't require any cooking and we all know oven and burner space is at a premium come Turkey Day. This relish is also great year round - try it on top of grilled fish or chicken. Toss a few bags of cranberries in your freezer and you can have cranberry relish all year long. —melissav
Ingredients
-
2 cups
craberries
-
1/4 cup
red onion, diced
-
3/4 cup
jimica, diced
-
1
jalapeño, minced (seeds and membrane removed to decrease heat, leave in if you like it fiery)
-
1
lime, zest and juice
-
1
orange, zest and juice
-
1 tablespoon
grated ginger
-
1/3 cup
sugar
-
2 tablespoons
honey
-
1/4 cup
mint, julienned
-
1/3 cup
hazelnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
Directions
-
Pulse the cranberries in the food processor until coarsely chopped. I find that this takes about 7 one second pulses. Scrape into a bowl.
-
Add onion, jimica, jalapeño, orange and lime zest and juice, sugar, honey, and ginger. Stir well and refrigerate at least 45 min and up to 1 day. [Note: I find that is helpful to always taste the jalapeño as the spice level varies greatly between pepper.]
-
Just before serving, stir in mint and hazelnuts.
