Spiced Cranberry-Orange Relish (Gluten Free, Sugar Free, Keto) (Edit recipe)

Notes

If you’re in a location where fresh cranberries aren’t available, don’t worry—you can still make this Spiced Keto Cranberry-Orange Relish with a few simple tweaks! Both frozen cranberries and unsweetened dried cranberries work wonderfully with slight adjustments. No need to thaw: Frozen cranberries can be used straight from the freezer, making this an easy substitute. Adjust sweetness: Frozen cranberries tend to be slightly more tart than fresh ones, so you may need to add a little extra keto sweetener to balance the flavor. Blending tip: Add the frozen cranberries to the blender with the other ingredients, then pulse until you get the desired texture. Rehydrate first: Soak 1/3 cup of unsweetened dried cranberries in 1/4 cup of hot water or fresh orange juice for 10-15 minutes. This helps soften them and brings back a juicy texture. Adjust portions: Dried cranberries are more concentrated in flavor, so reduce the quantity slightly (about 1/3 cup rehydrated dried cranberries replaces 1/2 cup fresh cranberries). Blending tip: Once rehydrated, drain any excess liquid and add them to the blender with the other ingredients. Both variations maintain the tartness of the cranberries and work well with the warm spices, but rehydrating dried cranberries brings out a slightly sweeter flavor. Balance the flavors: Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more keto sweetener or a touch of lemon juice for extra tartness. Use fresh cranberries: This recipe works best with whole berries found in the produce section of grocery stores. If you can’t find fresh, use frozen cranberries (thawed first). Best way to blend: A food processor works great for a chunky texture, while a blender will give you a smoother jammy sauce.
