My mom makes this relish every year. She has made it for so many people, who all love it.
It is really easy. You will need either a manual or electric grinder, or a food processor. If you only have a blender, you can use that too, but what you'll want to watch is that you don't liquefy the fruits. If you're using a blender, chop small batches of fruit and use brief pulses of chopping to prevent liquefying the fruit.
We like to stir this relish into our morning kefir! It is delicious!
Cranberry Relish
Wash cranberries. Remove any bad cranberries.
Wash and core the apples, leaving the peel on, and cut into wedges.
Peel the oranges and cut into wedges.
Chop all ingredients in batches in the food processor or food grinder. Mix well. Add sweetener, to taste. Store in the refrigerator overnight to let the flavors mingle. Enjoy!

Wardee,
The recipe looks delicious, I can’t wait to try it myself. Thank you for all of the good recipes, I think you are the one who should be writing a book.
I want to make this again this year. Do you know if I can make it & freeze until Thanksgiving?
Michaela, yes! It freezes well. My mom just happens to be visiting me right now, and we both say so. 🙂
YAY! Thank you so much for replying SOOOO quickly. I have everything on hand to make this tomorrow, so freeze it I will 😀
Oh & tell her I said thank you as well!
I would like to use dates for the sweetener, throw them in with the cranberries, do u think it would work in the ferment? I’ve heard they are high in minerals. Thanks, Gayla
I’ve been making this for years! However, I add pecans and water kefir! Then I ferment it for a few days. I thought I got the recipe from you, but your fermented cranberry sauce uses juice rather than fruit. So funny that I combined them! But it’s a family favorite. Thank you!
