Time 40m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 navel orange
2 cups cranberries, washed and picked through
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

Steps:

Preheat the grill to 400 degrees F.
Zest the orange and set aside. Cut the orange (with its rind) into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place the slices on the grill and cook until a peek beneath reveals charring, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip and grill the other side, another 2 to 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the reserved orange zest, cranberries, sugar, ginger and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Begin to simmer, stirring occasionally. Place the orange slices on a cutting board and trim off the rinds, then remove the seeds and discard. Roughly chop the orange flesh and add to the saucepan. Cook the relish until the cranberries pop and the liquid reduces, about 15 minutes total. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
