Instructions
Prepare the Citrus
Using a fine grater, zest the entire orange before cutting it in half and juicing it. Set both the zest and juice aside. The zest contains essential oils that give this relish its intense citrus flavor so do not skip this step.
Pulse the Cranberries
Place the fresh cranberries in a food processor and pulse 8 to 10 times until they are roughly chopped but still have some texture. You want a chunky relish not a smooth puree so be careful not to over-process.
Combine All Ingredients
Transfer the chopped cranberries to a mixing bowl. Add the orange zest, orange juice, grated fresh ginger, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir everything together until the sugar begins to dissolve and all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Rest and Serve
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This resting time allows the sugar to fully dissolve, the flavors to meld together, and the relish to thicken slightly. Stir once more before serving.
