Fresh Cranberry Orange Relish

Hands down the best, easiest cranberry sauce for the holidays. Your Turkey “Gobbler” sandwich will never be the same! While we recommend it be made the night before, we often mix the relish an hour before our traditional roast chicken or turkey meal. Even guests who usually avoid cranberry sauce like the addition of bright citrus flavor profiles. If you’re a guest for dinner this holiday season, offer to bring the cranberry sauce and a bottle of wine. We guarantee compliments and thanks.

My mom made that stuff in an old fashioned food grinder — the kind that clamped onto the edge of the countertop. Never thought of using a food processor, but sounds like a great idea!

Think you’ll find it faster to make and easier to scrape out if you use a food processor. Glad you have it in your recipe (box)!

My mom makes a dish just like this at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I always request extra to take home. Can’t get enough of it!

Cranberry relish has been a family favorite for years. My parents made it with a meat grinder! There are so many recipes that are naturally GF, it is just a matter of finding them. Your blog is great and I have passed it along to others.
