Cranberry-Onion Relish

Not as sweet as most cranberry relishes, this ruby-colored condiment is a perfect foil for the dark meat.


Ingredients


1 large Spanish onion, peeled, quartered and sliced

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, or canola oil

1 1/2 cups cranberries

1/4 cup orange juice

1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest

1 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

1/4 teaspoon salt
 
Preparation


1.Preheat oven to 375°F. Toss onions with sugar and oil in a shallow 2-quart baking dish. Bake, uncovered, until the onions are very tender and golden, 1 to 1 1/4 hours, stirring every 15 minutes.

2.Transfer the onion mixture to a medium saucepan and add cranberries, orange juice and zest, vinegar and salt. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until the cranberries are tender and the mixture is thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Let cool.
