Cranberry-habanero relish

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pack (16 oz) fresh cranberries, washed and drained
1 medium Orange, cut into eighths
¼ cup Sugar (up to 1/2)
1 Habanero chile, seeds and stem removed (or substitue 2 serrano chiles)
Lemon or lime juice to taste

Directions

I haven't tried this yet, but it is from Dewitt's "Hot & Spicy & Meatless", one of my favorite cookbooks (by the way, there is now a "Hot & Spicy & Meatless 2" now.

They suggest using a meat grinder. "If you use a blender or a food processor, use the coursest setting." Grind the cranberries coarsely, then grind the orange sections into them.

Add ¼ cup of the sugar to the mixture and stir. Grind the habanero and add it to the mixture, stirring well. Place the mixture in the refrigerator and let it chill for a few hours. Then taste the mixture; if it is too sweet, add some lemon or lime juice to cut the sugar. If the mixture is too tart for you, add more of the sugar. Then refrigerate until needed.
