Spiced Cranberry Relish
Serves 6 to 8
Ingredients
• Peel and juice of 1 medium orange
• Peel and juice of 1/2 medium lemon
• 3 cups port
• 1 package (12 ounces) fresh cranberries, washed
• 1/2 medium red onion, diced
• 1 ounce fresh ginger, peeled and cut into julienne
• 3 Tbsp. dark brown sugar
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. white pepper
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 2 Tbsp.s Grand Marnier
Cut the orange and lemon peels into julienne. In a small saucepan, heat the juices and 1/2 cup port. Over medium-high heat, cook the peels until tender, about 10 minutes. Reserve.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, onion, 2 cups port, ginger, brown sugar, salt, pepper and cinnamon. Over medium-high heat, cook until the relish thickens, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir the remaining 1/2 cup port, the Grand Marnier, and the reserved orange and lemon peel mixture. Cool. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate, covered, until needed.
