Ingredients
- One 12-ounce bag fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 1/2 cup sugar, plus more as needed
- 1 strip orange or lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons water
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 orange, unpeeled
- 1 tart apple
- 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
Instructions
- Put the cranberries in a medium saucepan and transfer 1/2 cup of the cranberries to a small bowl.
- Add 1 cup sugar, the strip of orange or lemon zest and 2 tablespoons water to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the cranberries are soft, about 10 minutes.
- Increase the heat to medium and cook until the cranberries burst, about 12 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the reserved 1/2 cup cranberries. Season with salt and pepper. Taste and add more sugar, if desired.
- Quarter the unpeeled orange and apple; remove and discard the seeds. Roughly chop the fruit with 1/2 cup sugar in a food processor.
- Fold the orange and apple mixture into cranberry sauce along with the chopped toasted pecans. Let cool to room temperature before serving.

This is so yummy! I can just eat it with a spoon. I did oj instead of water. But how long does it keep in the fridge?
This is the best cranberry relish that I have ever eaten. I did replace 2 Tbs of water with Grand Manier! Will definitely make this again.
Great recipe. Add a dash of cinnamon or ginger to elevate the flavor.
Love this recipe, it was a big winner at our dinner!
I have not tried this recipe yet but I plain on making it thanksgiving. Sounds delightful
Seriously. This nutty cranberry relish came through as the dark horse show stealer. Flavorful, a textural delight. Even regular-old-jelly aficionados had to concede to this delight of a dish. I paid triple the price for post holiday cranberries today, because calls for another batch were coming in from all sides. Simple, perfect.
At first I was very wary about using an unpeeled orange in this dish. To my astonishment, it was amazing. This reminds me of the recipe my father makes every year. I will be using this again and again. Just awesome!

Did I read the recipe correctly? One UNPEELED orange?
Have made this the past several Thanksgivings. Everyone loves it. We couldn’t stop eating it daily afterwards!
