Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp Heaping, Dad’s Gourmet Foods Candied Jalapeno Relish
  • 1/2 Tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 Cup Light Brown sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Granulated sugar (optional; omit if use DGF)
  • 1/2 Cup Orange juice
  • 1/2 Cup Water
  • 1/2 Tsp Orange zest
  • 12 Ounces Fresh cranberries (1 pkg)

Instructions
 

  • In a large saucepan, combine the candied Jalapeño relish, salt, sugar, orange juice, water and orange zest. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and add cranberries.
  • Simmer for 15 minutes,, stirring occasionally. Cranberries will pop as they cook, so I kept lid on to retain heat and prevent and splatter onto cooking surfaces from the cranberries popping. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
  • Transfer to a sealed container and fully chill, preferably overnight. The sauce will thicken as it cools. Enjoy!
