What each ingredient does
- Cranberries
- Provide the main body and tart flavour, and their skins burst and release pectin that thickens the relish.
- Sugar
- Adds sweetness that balances the tartness of the cranberries and helps the relish set.
The step that matters
Boil ten minutes, then add remainder of ingredients.. As cranberries heat, their skins burst and release pectin. Boiling long enough lets the pectin and sugar thicken the relish as it cools. Stopping too early leaves it runny, while boiling too long can make it overly stiff.
