Refreshing Cranberry-Orange Relish with Lime Zest

Ingredients

- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 large orange, peeled and segmented
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

- Rinse and drain the cranberries thoroughly.
- Peel the orange, remove any seeds, and segment it into smaller pieces.
- Wash the lime thoroughly, then zest the skin to collect 1 teaspoon of zest. Squeeze the lime to extract 1 tablespoon of lime juice.

2. Mix the Relish:

- In a food processor, combine the cranberries and orange segments. Pulse a few times until roughly blended, ensuring there are still some chunks for texture.
- Add the granulated sugar, lime zest, and lime juice to the processor.
- Continue to pulse until the relish reaches a coarse yet cohesive consistency. Be cautious not to over-process; the relish should have a slightly chunky texture.

3. Rest for Flavor:

- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap.
- Allow the relish to sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. This resting period lets the flavors meld together beautifully.

4. Serving Suggestion:

- Serve the relish as a refreshing side dish with your dinner, particularly complementing rich or savory main courses.
