Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, well-drained)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp ginger (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse cranberries under cold water, discarding any that float or appear wrinkled. If using fresh pineapple, chop into bite-sized pieces.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cranberries, pineapple chunks, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir gently until combined.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring frequently. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until cranberries burst and mixture thickens slightly.
- If using ginger, stir it in now and simmer for an additional couple of minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely before transferring to a serving bowl; the relish will thicken as it cools.
