FRESH CRANBERRY RELISH
from the FarmPlate Kitchen

The easiest, fastest cranberry relish we know. Perfect for that day-after-Thanksgiving turkey sandwich.

1 navel orange, scrubbed
1 lemon, scrubbed
12 oz. (about 3 cups) fresh Vermont cranberries
1/2 cup sugar
1 pinch salt
2-3 tablespoons Cointreau, Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur

Cut the orange and the lemon into large chunks and place in the bowl of a food processor, rind and all. Add the cranberries, sugar, salt and liqueur. Process until all is finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and chill before serving. The relish will keep for several days refrigerated.

Makes about 2 cups

We love VT Cranberry Co.! Many of the schools and senior meal sites we work with purchases cranberries for their holiday meals this month. Keep up the great work!
