Cranberry Relish
- 1 lg. navel orange
- 1 lime
- 1 tbsp. ginger, freshly grated
- 2 sticks cinnamon
- 1 chili, dried
- 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup raisins
- 2 lb. fresh cranberries
- Cut the orange and lime, with their skins, into a 1/4-inch dice.
- Set aside.
- Tie the ginger, cinnamon sticks, chili and vanilla bean in a cheesecloth; set aside.
- Place the sugar in a heavy large skillet, preferably one with straight sides.
- Stir constantly over high heat until sugar turns light amber.
- The sugar must be cooked carefully to prevent burning; break up lumps as you go.
- (If there are still lumps of sugar after it begins to color, work over low heat, or off heat, until mixture is smooth.)
- Stir in the orange, the lime and the bag of spices and cook over high heat, stirring constantly for 5 minutes.
- Fold in the raisins and cranberries, stirring gently to coat with caramelized sugar.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until about half of the cranberries pop open, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and cool.
- Remove the bag of spices and spoon the relish into sterilized jars.
- Cover tightly and refrigerate for 1 month.
- This relish keeps about 3 months.
