Triple sec cranberry relish, as seen on The Kitchen, Season 19.

Triple Sec Cranberry Relish

cranberries

Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and diced

sugar

Cointreau or Grand Marnier orange liqueur

cinnamon

cloves

lemon

orange

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberries, apple, sugar, Cointreau, 1/2 cup water, the cinnamon, and cloves, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the cranberries start to pop, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the grated zests, and chill.

It was as good as it was easy. It was delicious. I will definitely be making this again for sure. 

This will be my go to recipe!  Much better than the ones I have tried.  The only change I made, as others suggested, was to decrease the cloves; only added a pinch.  Freezing some of it since I am the only one who eats cranberry sauce.  We’re having two Thanksgivings due to grandkids schedule.

I have been cooking over 50 years and this is the best cranberry relish I have ever made.  I will have to make sure I have frozen cranberries so I can make this year round.

OH MY GOODNESS!! This is a GREAT recipe! My husband even liked it! I used Triple Sec instead of the Cointreau or Grand Marnier. It was delicious as is, but I will cut back on the cloves next time. 

This is a must not only for Thanksgiving, but year round. Also makes a wonderful cranberry orange cake.<br />

Absolutely wonderful and very easy to make.

Absolutely delicious!! So easy to make, 30 minutes start to finish including prep. We saw Ted make it on The Kitchen and had to try it for Thanksgiving. Kept eating the leftovers until they were gone. Made more just to have on hand for anything. Some times just a couple of spoonfuls straight up. This will be a standard in our fridge from now on!

I will NEVER cheat on this recipe.  You don’t like cranberry sauce?  Try this one - incredible!  You still don’t like it?  Seek medical attention, because this is the best best best.  And, on the turkey sandwich the next  day?  With coffee &amp; jameson for breakfast?  Forget about it.  Solid gold!

Every Thanksgiving I love making cranberry sauce. I saw Ted Allen make this on a recent binge of The Kitchen Thanksgiving episodes. It was by far my favorite after trying different recipes each year. This will be my mainstay. I did substitute orange juice for the Cointreau (I know :( I’m sorry), but it still worked. The cloves &amp; cinnamon smelled and tasted delicious. 

Best cranberry dish ever. I had to make four times the normal amount the second year for Thanksgiving because the first year people could not stop eating it and everyone wanted to take some home. You will not be sorry with this one.

Has anyone tried canning this?<div><br /></div>

Easy Tasty best ever cranberry relish recipe! Thank you Ted - you are NOT CHOPPED! 

Our new favorite dish for Thanksgiving. Can't wait to make it again.

I made 6 recipes for 125 people for Woman's Club of Lodi Thanksgiving luncheon and everyone wanted the recipe. This relish is fabulous on pork, chicken, etc. Just be creative. Last year I made it for Thanksgiving and then added the leftovers to bbq sauce for lil' smokies and everyone loved it.

Fantastic flavor but easy to make! Several people who don’t normally like cranberry sauce loved it. 

Really the best recipe for cranberry sauce. Our new favorite!

Great recipe! It has a nice citrus flavor to go with the tartness of the cranberries. This is a keeper recipe!

This was the best. So easy but so so delicious.  

Took this to my family’s Thanksgiving this year and they loved it! Definitely would make again. I would use just a little less clove and I had to cook mine a lot longer to get it to cook down but all delicious!

We grow a lot of cranberries in Wisconsin, so a good cranberry sauce is important for our Thanksgiving meal.  I tried this one because it was a little different.  It was fantastic!  I highly recommend it.  

Nice change up to a simple cranberry sauce. I used Grand Marnier I only used a dash of cloves, and it was plenty. Next time I will shred the apple. 

Loved this cranberry relish. Made per recipe.

Super easy to make and even those who don’t like cranberry enjoyed it

I really wanted to like this.  Made it twice.  Once without the liquor and once with it, and it was just too strong of a taste.  Not sure what was too over powering, but I gave up on this one.  

Just made this a day ahead of turkey day and is awesome and easy!!!

Last year we turned ourselves onto fresh cranberry sauce and said we never do canned again......Well this recipe kicks it up a notch...OMG!...The only difference was I didn't have ground cloves, so I used 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon and cloves.  Our new tradition, thanks Ted Allen for being on The Kitchen... 

I just made this with Cointreau.  It's delicious.  I cut the apple into a tiny dice so it is a little more sauce-like (less chunky).

I love this recipe.  The flavors are fantastic.  

Delicious!! The triple sec adds depth of flavor, but doesn’t make it taste boozey. I added a bit more cinnamon, but I love cinnamon.
