We are going beyond the classics preparing spicy mustard cranberry relish.
Every year I like to prepare different cranberry sauces and experiment beyond the traditional dishes. I have used cranberry relish in sandwiches and have made a fresh cranberry tomatillo salsa that goes perfect with tacos and chips.
One of our favorite cranberry applications is red wine and persimmons. I have made a cranberry sauce with blackberries and chipotle too. Enjoy experimenting with new flavors, and cranberries are a tasty fruit to do it.
These are my tips for making the perfect cranberry relish.
- Buy fresh cranberries and wash them thoroughly before cooking.
- Choose condiments that enhance the cranberry tart flavors, such as cinnamon, cloves, orange, or lemon zest.
- Use red wine for depth in flavor and a deep carmine red color.
- Use fruit juices for cooking the cranberries. The classic combination is with orange, but apple cider, berries, and or pomegranate make an excellent addition.
- Use a little amount of liquid and a higher content of sugar to achieve a marmalade or relish consistency.
- If you liked, plumped cranberries cook them at low flame and do not overcook.
- Cranberries go well with spicy yellow mustard, chipotle, or habanero.
