COOKED CRANBERRY AND ORANGE RELISH

Steps:

• Make this a day ahead and serve chilled. In a non-reactive saucepan, combine the water, orange juice and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Add the cranberries and cook only for about minutes or until the skins of the berries pop. Remove pan from heat and add orange rind. Transfer mixture to a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
• Leftovers can be thinned with some liqueur and used as a hot sauce to spoon over frozen yogurt or pound cake.

PERFECT CRANBERRY SAUCE

• Empty a 12-ounce bag of fresh or frozen cranberries into a saucepan and transfer 1/2 cup to a small bowl. Add 1 cup sugar, 1 strip orange or lemon zest and 2 tablespoons water to the pan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the cranberries are soft, about 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium and cook until the cranberries burst, about 12 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the reserved cranberries. Add sugar, salt and pepper to taste and cool to room temperature before serving.
