Fresh Cranberry Relish

We just got back from the Cranberry Harvest Celebration in Wareham, MA with about 5 lbs. of fresh cranberries. I used this recipe to make a side to go with our Turkey Pot Pie dinner and definitely want to save this recipe for Thanksgiving celebrations to come!

Ingredients:

1 cup white sugar
1 cup orange juice
1.5 cups of fresh cranberries
zest of 1 orange
 
Directions:  
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the sugar and the oranze zest to the orange juice.   Dissolve the sugar in the orange juice. Stir in the cranberries, and cook for around 15 minutes until most of the cranberries have 'popped' and the mixture has begun to thicken. 
Remove from heat, and transfer to a bowl. Cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools. 

I like this best as a cold side. This can be made ahead & refrigerated which also allows the flavors to combine nicely and the texture to thicken.
