Prep Citrus Zest: Using a zester or grater, carefully remove the zest from the grapefruit and tangerine. Set aside for later use.

Chop Cranberries and Ginger: In the same food processor (no need to clean in between), add the fresh and frozen cranberries along with the peeled fresh ginger. Pulse until the cranberries and ginger are finely chopped, being careful not to overprocess.

Combine Ingredients: Add the cranberry-ginger mixture to the bowl with the chopped citrus. Pour in the white sugar, lime juice, and reserved citrus zest. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved and all ingredients are evenly combined.

Adjust Sweetness: Taste the relish and adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding more sugar if necessary.
