Ingredients
- 12 oz. frozen cranberries thawed (about 3 cups)*
- 1 navel orange zest and fruit
- 1 cup apple cut into 1-inch chunks with skin intact
- ½ cup walnuts chopped and toasted
- ⅓ cup honey pure maple syrup, or sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. rosemary finely chopped
- ½ tsp. salt to taste
- ⅛ tsp. cinnamon
Instructions
- Prep the Fruit: If using previously frozen cranberries, allow to thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Zest the orange and then separate the fruit into pieces. Cut the apple into 1-inch chunks.
- Pulse Ingredients: Add the chilled cranberries to a large 10 to 14-cup food processor along with the orange pieces, apple chunks, walnuts, zest, honey or sugar, vanilla extract, rosemary, salt, and cinnamon. Pulse 15-30 times, or until to your desired consistency.
- Serve immediately, if your cranberries were chilled, or refrigerator for 2 hours before serving if they were at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes
- The recipe you’ll find below is already gluten-free and vegetarian as written. Here are some adjustments and substitutions you can make to help it fit your other dietary requirements:
- You can also use fresh cranberries but you will need to refrigerate the relish after making in order to chill it.
- Sugar-free: Stick with a natural sweetener.
- Nut-free: Leave the walnuts out.
- How to prep-ahead: This is a great recipe to make early. Whip up this relish and keep it in the fridge for a couple of days before you need it. The flavors will continue to marry.
- How to store: Place leftover relish in an airtight container and leave it in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- How to freeze: You can definitely freeze cranberry relish in freezer bags for up to 3 to 4 months. Just be wary of refreezing previously frozen berries. Also, the texture might change upon thawing.
