Why This Recipe Works

Our Cranberry-Apple-Orange Relish recipe is the perfect blend of sweet, tart, bitter, and spicy. In our recipe, we used an entire orange—peel and all—for a deep citrus flavor and mild bitterness to temper the relish’s sweetness. To grind all the ingredients together, we turned to the food processor. We pulsed the mixture to a coarse cornmeal texture so the relish retained some crunch.
