Ingredients:

1/2 cup pecan pieces
1 large orange - (10 to 12 oz)
12 oz fresh cranberries

1/2 tsp pure ground mild red chile - or more to taste
1/2 cup granulated sugar - or more to taste


Toast pecans in dry skillet over medium heat until warm and fragrant. Place in bowl of food processor with chopping blade.

Zest orange and add peel to food processor. Get rid of pith and seeds, and cut orange into several chunks.

Add orange, cranberries, ground chile and 1/2 cup sugar to processor, and chop coarsely. Taste and add more sugar as needed, but relish should be refreshingly tart. Chill at least 30 minutes and serve.

This recipe yields 8 servings.

Fresh cranberries can also be frozen to add to recipes later.
