Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Wash and scrub the apple and orange thoroughly. |
| 2 | Rinse the cranberries in a colander. |
| 3 | Cut the ends off the orange just slightly, exposing the sections. |
| 4 | Core the apple and cut it into quarters. |
| 5 | In a food processor with a chop blade, pulse the frozen cranberries until they reach a relish consistency. |
| 6 | Transfer the cranberries to a mixing bowl. |
| 7 | Chop the apple using the same method and add it to the bowl. |
| 8 | Cut the orange into quarters and add it to the food processor. Chop until the rind is finely chopped, resembling small particles. |
| 9 | Add the chopped orange to the mixing bowl. |
| 10 | Gently mix the fruits and sprinkle about 1/2 to 2/3 of the sugar over the mixture. Let it sit for approximately 30 minutes. |
| 11 | After resting, mix again and taste. Adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if desired. |
| 12 | Add the pecans and walnuts to the mixture, stirring gently to incorporate. |
| 13 | Note: For larger batches, withhold some of the sugar until the mixture has rested, as the fruits will naturally sweeten. |
| 14 | Freezing option: If preparing batches for freezing, omit the nuts as they may become mushy over time. Alternatively, provide crushed nuts in a separate bowl for individual servings, allowing guests to customize their portions. |
| 15 | Enjoy this delightful Cranberry Relish as a side dish for holiday meals or freeze it for later use. It pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes and is a refreshing addition to any gathering. |

- For a tart flavor, adjust the sugar according to your taste preferences.
