Gluten-Free Cranberry Relish Recipe
Gluten-Free Cranberry Relish Recipe
Cranberry is not just for Thanksgiving. Because they are Gluten-Free, I buy extra cranberries when they are fresh and in season so I can stock my freezer for year round use! A gluten-free cranberry relish can be used as far more than a side dish. It makes a great topping for Gluten-Free ice cream or pancakes and is super tasty mixed into some Greek yogurt. But my favorite use by far for cranberry relish, is on top of a burger. Try it and I guarantee you'll be hooked.

Total time:
Ingredients
- 1 cup cranberries, fresh or thawed if frozen
- ½ cup water (more, if necessary)
- ½ teaspoon dried orange peel or fresh orange zest
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 drops liquid stevia or to taste
Instructions
- In a colander, rinse the cranberries and then place them in a saucepan with ½ cup of water, just enough to keep them from scorching.
- Watch the berries closely, and add more water as necessary, but just a tablespoon at a time so that the sauce doesn't get watery. Simmer the berries over medium heat, stirring constantly, until they begin to swell and pop. You will actually be able to hear them.
- Continue to simmer to berries for another 5 minutes, mashing them slightly with the back of a wooden spoon as you stir. When the berries are soft, remove the pan from the heat. The sauce should be very thick. If it isn't, continue cooking and stirring until it thickens.
- When sauce is thick, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients. Taste test to adjust the stevia and spices to your own personal taste.
- Store in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it.
Notes
Gluten-Free Cranberry Relish can be made ahead of time and either refrigerated or frozen. If you want to freeze individual portions, spoon it into plastic ice cube trays, and when it is frozen solid, pop the individual cubes of relish out and put them in a freezer bag.
