Jacques Pepins Jalapeno Cranberry Relish Recipes

CRANBERRY-JALAPENO RELISH

Steps:

• Place half of the orange segments, the zest, and the jalapenos in the food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the sugar and pulse 3 to 4 more times. Add the cranberries and continue to pulse until berries are roughly chopped. Adjust seasonings with sugar, if needed. Transfer cranberry mixture to a bowl and toss with the remaining half of chopped orange segments and the mint. Allow relish to chill for at least 30 minutes, and up to 2 days. Serve relish chilled or at room temperature.

JALAPENO CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, put the sugar, ginger, jalapenos, orange zest and orange juice. Simmer for 2 minutes. Add the cranberries and set over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Add water if the mixture appears too dry. Add in the lemon zest and juice and season with salt or a bit more sugar. Let cool completely and serve.

SPICY RED PEPPER CRANBERRY RELISH

JACQUES PEPIN'S JALAPENO CRANBERRY RELISH

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients for the cranberry relish in a stainless steel saucepan, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and boil gently for 10 to 12 minutes. Set off the heat until cool, then cover and refrigerate. (This relish is best made a day ahead, as it develops taste after a few hours.) The relish will keep, refrigerated, for several weeks and is excellent with cold roasts or pâtés.
