LEMONY CRANBERRY RELISH



Lemony Cranberry Relish image

Cranberry relish using a whole orange is a classic, but here, a whole lemon - pith and all - acts as the bitter, acerbic edge that your Thanksgiving plate needs. Try to find a thin-skinned lemon, which will prevent the relish from skewing too bitter. (Give it a squeeze before buying. Thin-skinned lemons will yield slightly under pressure, whereas thick-skinned lemons will feel hard.) This confetti of a condiment looks beautiful as well, almost like stained glass, with its jeweled, ruby gleam. Definitely make this the night before Thanksgiving to get it out of the way, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to eat.

Time 5m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (12-ounce) bag fresh cranberries (3 cups)
1 lemon, preferably thin-skinned, coarsely chopped and seeded
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Rinse and drain the cranberries, then pick out and discard any squishy ones. In a food processor, pulse the cranberries, lemon, sugar and salt until finely chopped. You can serve this immediately or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 48 hours, or until ready to serve. As it sits, the sugar will dissolve and the fruit will release liquid, creating a sweet-tart sauciness.
