Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cranberry and Red Wine Relish.
Step 1
Start by combining the white sugar and dry red wine in a medium saucepan. Place it over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. As the sugar dissolves, the aroma of the wine will fill your kitchen, setting the stage for a delicious relish. Once boiling, add in the fresh cranberries, the cinnamon stick, and the slivers of orange zest. Watch as the cranberries begin to pop and release their vibrant color. Bring the mixture back to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Stir often for about 10 to 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and most of the cranberries to burst. This is where the magic happens! After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the relish cool slightly. Once cooled, carefully spoon the relish into sterilized glass jelly jars with tight-fitting lids. This relish can be stored in the refrigerator, ready to elevate your meals with its tangy sweetness.
How to Serve
Serve this cranberry and red wine relish alongside roasted meats, as a topping for cream cheese on crackers, or as a vibrant addition to your holiday table. It also pairs beautifully with cheese platters!
How to Store
Store the relish in the refrigerator in airtight jars. It can last for up to two weeks, allowing you to enjoy its flavors long after you've made it.
