If you are a fan of cranberries, you’ll want to try this really easy recipe for Fresh Cranberry Relish! There’s no cooking—just add all the ingredients to your blender or food processor, chop them up, and it’s done! It’s super easy and tastes great!
Fyi, in case you didn’t know, cranberry relish is different from cranberry sauce—cranberry sauce is cooked and typically sweeter than cranberry relish. Cranberry relish is not cooked, and it’s made with fresh, raw ingredients. So this is actually pretty healthy!

This is a perfect cranberry sauce! In the old days, there was a recipe on the cranberry package for cranberry orange sauce where you ground up the fresh cranberries with whole oranges! I imagine this recipe has the same flavor.

It’s probably pretty similar! I’ll have to try it sometime with a whole orange—that sounds really good!
