Step 1

Into a food processor, add cranberries, orange pieces, the chopped orange zest, chopped apple, pecans, and crystallized ginger.  Pulse the food processor a few times. It usually takes me about 10 pulses. Check the consistency of the ingredients. They should be chopped and fairly even.

Step 2

Add in the sugar. Start with the 1/3 cup of sugar. Test the flavors. If sweet enough, excellent. If not, add more sugar to your preference. Transfer the cranberry relish to a covered container and store in the fridge until ready to serve.
