Sunnys Charred Orange And Cranberry Relish Food

CRANBERRY-ORANGE RELISH

Steps:

• Using a food processor, pulse the cranberries and oranges. Transfer the chopped fruit to a 1-quart bowl and add 1/2 cup of the sugar, stirring to mix. Add more sugar to taste, as the sweetness of the oranges will vary. Add the chopped pecans and serve.

SUNNY 'S CRANBERRY MOJITO PITCHER

Steps:

• Combine the cranberry juice, agave and mint in a medium saucepan over medium heat just until it comes to a boil. Whisk to combine, then cover and steep until the cranberry juice tastes like mint, 3 to 5 minutes. If not sweet enough for your liking, add a bit more syrup. Strain out the mint and pour the liquid into a pitcher.
• Stir the rum and lime juice into the pitcher and refrigerate until cold.
• To serve, add 3 to 4 mint leaves, a few cranberries and ice to lowball or wine glasses. Pour in the chilled drink, then top off with a splash of sparkling water or ginger ale. Enjoy!

APPLE-ORANGE-CRANBERRY RELISH

Steps:

• Grate the zest from the whole orange and set aside. Cut off any remaining pith from the orange. Cut the orange into chunks. Peel the apple and remove the core; cut into large pieces.
• In a food processor, combine the orange zest and chunks, apples, cranberries and celery and process until finely chopped; be careful not to process too long because the mixture will become mushy. Add the walnuts and pulse until chopped. Stir in the sugar and orange liqueur. Refrigerate until serving time, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.

UNCOOKED CRANBERRY AND ORANGE RELISH

Steps:

• Make sure there are no seeds in oranges. Cut the oranges into quarters and then chop them up roughly. Either in a meat grinder or in a food processor chop the raw cranberries and oranges. Transfer to glass or ceramic serving bowl and add the sugar. Cover with plastic and let stand for 24 hours. Refrigerate after that; this will keep for 2 weeks. Leftovers can be combined with mayonnaise and used as a dressing for leftover turkey sandwiches.

SUNNY'S CRANBERRY, APPLE AND FIG STREUSEL TART

Steps:

• Par-bake the crust: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Use both pie crusts to cover the bottom and sides of a 13-by-9-inch casserole dish. Patchwork works, just cover the holes. Dock by pricking holes in the crust with a fork all over the bottom. Bake until lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
• For the fruit filling: In a large bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, almond extract, pumpkin pie spice, lemon zest and lemon juice. Divide the mixture among the smaller bowls: 3/4 cup in the first, 1/2 cup in the second and 1/4 cup in the third. (Think of the 3 bears: poppa, momma and baby bear bowls.)
• Put the cranberries in the poppa bear bowl; in the momma bear bowl, add the apples; and in the baby bear bowl, add the figs. (Do you need a translation? Add cranberries to the bowl with the most flour mixture, apples to the bowl with 1/2 cup of the flour mixture, and the figs to the bowl with the least amount of the flour mixture.) Stir each bowl independently, unless you¿re an octopus.
• For the streusel topping: In a food processor add the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, and a pinch of salt. Blend until crumbly, taste and add more salt if needed. Pour into a small bowl with the almonds and stir.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pour the fruit filling into the prepared crust, dividing it into thirds with the apples in the middle and the figs and cranberries on either side. Top evenly with the streusel mixture. Cover the pie edges with aluminum foil so they don¿t overcook. Bake until the top is golden brown and the fruit is beginning to bubble around the edges, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve warm with the bourbon whipped cream.
• Whisk the cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Add the bourbon and sugar and continue whisking until the cream holds slightly stiff peaks when the whisk is removed from the bowl. Refrigerate and serve cold.

EASY CRANBERRY & ORANGE RELISH

Steps:

• Tip the cranberries into a large pan with the orange juice and sugar, and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat to medium and bring to a gentle simmer, then continue to cook for 10 mins until the cranberries become plump and sticky.
• Tip the mixture into a blender, blitz to a purée, then return to the pan and simmer over a low heat for 5 mins until thick and jammy. Leave to cool and tip into a serving dish or jar. Will keep in the fridge for four days or freezer for up to six months.
