Cranberry Orange Relish
I got a great deal on fresh cranberries and decided to make and can my own cranberry sauce. I could also have frozen it- but freezer space is at a premium right now. I didn’t want plain cranberry sauce so I decided to make cranberry- orange relish.
Cranberry Orange Relish
5 (12 oz.) bags cranberries
5 cups sugar
5 cups orange juice
2 T. grated orange zest
Rinse berries and drain. Place berries with the remaining ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Berries will start to pop. Cook until berries are popped and sauce thickens a little. Cranberries have a lot of pectin and will thicken up when they cool. Ladle hot sauce into hot jars. Wipe rims and adjust lids. Process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes. Makes 7 pints or 14 half- pints.
