Ocean Spray Fresh Cranberry Orange Relish
"This is a very refreshing recipe I have used for years. It comes from the bag of Ocean Spray Cranberries bought in the grocery store. This time of year cranberries are plentiful where I live (in fact I have a huge bag 21 pounds in the refrigerator) so right now I try to give new recipes a try before the fresh ones have to go into the freezer. Give it a try it goes great with your Thanksgiving dinner. Enjoy!"

Ocean Spray also printed a similar recipe, using 3 Cups fresh or frozen cranberries to 1 medium orange and 3/4-1Cup sugar.. Absolutely delicious. -
Very similar to mom's recipe except hers had the addition of lemon gelatin. -
I was making this for the first time this evening. I used an old fashioned food grinder which I must have done incorrectly. Some of the berries did not chop and there is a LOT of juice from the orange. It tasted good but looked more pulverized than chopped/relish. Question is...if I'm still unhappy after 24 hrs., could I COOK this and make sauce? Berries, orange, pecans and sugar are the only ingredients. Seems logical but.....thanks! -
I used to buy cranberry orange relish, now I can't find it, why?

How long can you store this in the refrigerator?

Been using this recipe for over 50yrs with just one change. We have always added a Red Delicious apple. -
I have used this recipe for 50 years, I add a few chopped pecans, I make it ahead and freeze it prior to Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love the juice it makes, great on left over Turkey, !

I love this recipe. For me Thanksgiving or Christmas Meals are not complete without it!<br/>I grew up with it as my one of my Moms regular Holiday dishes... I always remembered her complaining about how long it took to make! Well Mom did not have a Cuisinart Food Processor, only an old style blender with a "Chopping/Grinder" attachment you put on it... When I grew up and wanted to make it on my own and asked her for the recipe. She said its on the back of the Ocean Spray Cranberries... So I bought some, read them and realized that before "Food Processors," this would have been a big deal to make, Now I can do 3 batches all at once in 20 minutes or so. As an interesting addition, I now often add a little Tobasco sauce to it to give it just a hint of heat kick to the sweet! Enjoy! -
Classic, easy and delicious! Love it. This does need to sit for a bit for the sugar to dissolve and lose the crunchy texture.

Simple and Refreshing. We make this every year. My husband likes for it to sit for a day to "muddle".

This recipe is somewhat like my Mom's but she added an apple also and used honey instead of sugar to keep it healthy. It does take more stirring to blend, but worth it!

I added 1 gala apple and a half cup of walnuts. It’s the best!

<p>I'm retired since August 2007 after 20 years from a library in central Wisconsin. I guess you could say my hobby is cooking. My husband has even gained weight since I am home more. <br /><br />I love trying new recipes and just started smoking food in my new smoker. So far I have only made salmon and turkey. Both turned out good. <br />We have two grown children and two granddaughters. <br /><br />We also love camping and try to go often. My husband loves fishing and hunting so we have alot of fish and venison and the freezer. <br /><br />I love Zaar and visit the site almost every day. I really love it when I get a good review on one of my recipes. I just wish members would alow zaar mail fo I could thank them for the review.</p>
