Raw Cranberry Relish

I have never been a fan of traditional cooked cranberry sauce; that might only be because I’ve never had a really good one.  In any case, cranberry sauce is just not something I’ve ever tried to mimick since it didn’t appeal to me.  Raw seems to be the way to go for those of you like me who have never been excited about cooked cranberry sauce.  Years ago I discovered Trader Joe’s orange cranberry relish and loved it so much I wanted to duplicate it.  I never tried till now.  Now, I must say I prefer this recipe because it’s got a fresh flavor, less sugar and well the ginger just takes it to another level of wow!

Fresh Ginger Flavor

My readers know I love my fresh ginger!  If you love the zest and fresh earthy flavor of ginger like I do you must try this recipe with fresh ginger root only.  Powdered ginger will simply not have the same effect.  Go fully raw and fresh on this recipe and you’ll be sure to love it!
