This sweet and tangy Cranberry Relish the perfect complement to your holiday feast. Your family will ask for this year after year because once they’ve tried it the stuff in a can will never do again.

Cranberry Relish

Each year when I plan our Thanksgiving feast I try to add something new or something different from the typical fare. This year I’m making this Cranberry Relish instead of the typical canned cranberry sauce.

As a rule I eat cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving. That big red glob of jellied cranberries just doesn’t excite me. This relish is made with fresh cranberries that I can see and smell and it make me just want to dive in and eat the whole bowl.

Besides the fresh cranberries this relish is made with crushed pineapple, Mandarin oranges, and pecans. Plus raspberry gelatin that adds a wonderful surprising tangy flavor.

Cranberry Relish

To make this relish I used my food processor to chop the ingredients. If you don’t have a food processor you can use a blender on pulse to chop up the ingredients.

I began by dumping a bag of fresh cranberries and a cup of shelled pecan halves in the food processor and then used the pulse feature to chop them down.

Then in a bowl I poured the cranberry pecan mixture with a can of crushed pineapple and a can of Mandarin oranges and then stirred it all together.

Next, combine hot water with a small box of raspberry jello. Do not add the cold water that’s listed on the back of the box. Stir to combine and then pour of the cranberry mixture and stir everything together.

Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge overnight. When the ingredients are set give it one more stir to break it up and then serve.

    The cook time on the recipe is 20 minutes. You would absolutely have to cook the cranberries prior, although this recipe leaves this step out.

      You do not cook the cranberries at all for this recipe. You simply wash and chop the cranberries. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
