Ruths Raw Cranberry Relish Recipes

Steps:

• Make sure there are no seeds in oranges. Cut the oranges into quarters and then chop them up roughly. Either in a meat grinder or in a food processor chop the raw cranberries and oranges. Transfer to glass or ceramic serving bowl and add the sugar. Cover with plastic and let stand for 24 hours. Refrigerate after that; this will keep for 2 weeks. Leftovers can be combined with mayonnaise and used as a dressing for leftover turkey sandwiches.

Steps:

• After washing all fruit, coarsely grind, or chop in food processor, or, carefully, by hand if better for you, the fresh cranberries, and oranges. Then after grinding/chopping them, place in a colander, along with the other wet ingredients, such as the crushed pineapple, and let drain into a bowl overnight or for several hours to rid the fruit of extra juices. It is important to drain all the juices, but especially important to drain the pineapple juices as much as possible. The pineapple contains an enzyme that can prevent gelling.
• Then after draining, add the rest of the ingredients. Remember, especially, to coarsely chop the pecans, not process them into a fine grain. Add the red, already dissolved jello (in one cup of very hot or boiling water), to the rest of the ingredients.
• Pour into an appropriate container. Chill at least 3 hours before serving. This recipe is easy, however since its for the holidays, you might want a "test" run before hand.

Steps:

• Grate 2 teaspoons of zest from orange; discard remaining peel and pith from orange. Divide orange into sections.
• Place orange sections, orange zest, cranberries, sugar, and cinnamon in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped.
• Transfer relish to a bowl and cover; refrigerate to allow flavors to blend, at least 2 hours.

Steps:

• Wash the cranberries well and pick them over, discarding soft ones. Scrub the orange and dry it. Use a microplane to grate off the zest and measure out 2 teaspoons, then peel the orange and remove the white pith, and break into segments. Wash the persimmons, trim out their stems and cores, and cut them into roughly 1-inch pieces.
• Combine the cranberries, orange, grated zest, persimmons, and a pinch of sea salt in the container of the food processor and pulse briefly, just to break everything up. Add the sugar and 2 teaspoons lemon juice, pulse again, and taste. If you think you need more sweetness, add a tiny bit more sugar; if you need acid, add a drop of lemon juice.
• Pulse once more to blend the seasonings, but do not overprocess. This relish should have a gravelly texture, with distinct pieces of golden persimmon showing among the cranberries.

Steps:

• In an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish, combine cranberries and sugar. Cover and bake at 350° for 1 hour. , In a large bowl, combine the orange marmalade, walnuts and lemon juice. Stir in cranberry mixture. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.

Steps:

Steps:

• 1. Peel 1 orange and cut the zest (orange part only) into a very fine julienne, as thin as possible; set aside. Squeeze both oranges for juice; set aside.
• 2. Combine sugar and lemon juice in a small sauté pan. Heat up slowly and continue cooking until the sugar begins to caramelize. If necessary, wash down the sides of the pan by brushing with a little water to keep the sugar from burning.
• 3. When the sugar is caramel colored, add the julienned ginger and orange zest. Cook for about 1 minute, then add the cranberries, orange juice and pepper. Continue to cook on medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until the cranberries are slightly broken but not mushy (frozen cranberries will take about 7 minutes). Remove from the heat and let cool.
