Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 350 g fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 100 g caster sugar
  • Zest and juice of 1 orange
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • A pinch of ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp water

Method
 

  1. Combine all ingredients in a pan.
  2. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  3. Cook for 8–10 minutes, until softened but still chunky.
  4. Remove from the heat and cool.
  5. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Don't overcook; this relish should stay chunky, not smooth.
Use fresh orange zest for real brightness alongside the juice.
Taste and adjust sugar depending on the tartness of your cranberries.
Thickens considerably as it cools, so judge consistency once cooled.
Freezes well for up to 3 months.
