Cranberry Guava Relish Food

FRESH CRANBERRY RELISH

Steps:

• Slice the very edge root ends off of the orange, just until you see the flesh. Leave the rest of the skin ON the orange and slice it into 8 pieces.
• Place the fresh cranberries, orange slices and sugar in your food processor and process until smooth (or until no large chunks remain).
• Refrigerate until ready to serve (it tastes best after being in the fridge for at least on hour) or for up to 1 week. Serve over turkey, chicken, pork loin etc.

GRAPEFRUIT-CAMPARI CRANBERRY RELISH

Steps:

• Heat the canola oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the ginger and onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the grapefruit and orange juices and sugar and bring to a boil. Cook until the sugar has melted and the mixture reduces slightly.
• Stir in half of the cranberries and cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries pop and break down and the mixture begins to thicken. Add the remaining cranberries and Campari and cook just until the berries pop, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the orange zest and grapefruit segments and season lightly with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl, stir in some parsley and serve at room temperature.

CRANBERRY-SERRANO RELISH

Steps:

• Cook 1 diced red onion in 1 tablespoon canola oil in a saucepan over high heat until soft. Stir in 1 grated peeled 2-inch piece of ginger and 1 diced serrano chile; cook 30 seconds. Add 1 cup water and 1/2 cup sugar; cook until the sugar dissolves. Add half a 12-ounce bag cranberries; cook until the berries pop and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Add the rest of the cranberries; cook 1 minute. Off the heat, stir in 2 tablespoons honey, the grated zest of 1 lime, and salt and pepper. Let cool slightly, then stir in 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.

CRANBERRY RELISH

Steps:

• In food processor with metal blade, chop cranberries. No need to defrost cranberries if frozen. Frozen cranberries make bright red relish. Scrape chopped cranberries into separate bowl.
• Replace metal blade with small shredder disk. Cut orange & apple into quarters. Remove core from apple but keep skin of both orange & apple.
• Shred orange & apple in food processor. Replace shredder disk with metal blade and chop orange & apple pieces to about the size of the chopped cranberries.
• Scrape chopped orange & apple into bowl with cranberries. Add lemon juice and sugar. Mix well.
• The relish is best if you give the sugar some time to dissolve -- that's the "cooking" time.

CRANBERRY FRUIT RELISH

Steps:

• Pulse cranberries, orange and apple in a blender or food processor until chopped. Remove to a bowl; stir in remaining ingredients. Refrigerate, covered, at least 2 hours.
