orange-ginger cranberry relish kicks that can to the curb!

This orange-ginger cranberry relish is seriously the best I’ve ever had!

Well I had a whole other post to share today but I got quite a number of messages after I posted this pictures on stories yesterday:

Spiced nuts here/apple pie cookies here

Seems you all wanted to know more about this orange-ginger cranberry relish and it’s really so good that I wanted to get it into your hands in time for Thursday!

This recipe resolves the main issue I have with most cranberry sauce recipes – that is, the overwhelming sweetness and one-noteness (??). This recipe deploys lots of ginger, orange zest and other spices to kick things up considerably, while not deviating too far from the familiar flavors we love.

Best of all, it’s super easy and can be made in advance – like, today!!!!

Not many pics to show you, as I wasn’t prepared to post – but here’s the recipe!!!!

Orange-Ginger Cranberry Relish
from Epicurious

1 3/4 cups cranberry juice cocktail, divided
3/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 cinnamon stick
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger (here’s what to do with the leftover ginger!)
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 whole cloves
12-ounce bag fresh or frozen cranberries

Combine 1 1/2 cups cranberry juice cocktail, honey and orange zest in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until honey dissolves; simmer 4 minutes. Add the cinnamon stick, bay leaf, ginger, coriander, salt, pepper and cloves and simmer 2 minutes. Add the cranberries and simmer until berries burst and sauce is thick, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and discard the bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Mix in the remaining 1/4 cup cranberry juice cocktail and refrigerate till chilled. (can be prepared 3 days in advance).
