Has anyone tried making cranberry relish without cooking the cranberries?

Like instead mincing them and adding oranges, pecans and honey or organic sugar as a condiment?
Are they better cooked or raw like this?

Cranberries are not very good raw. Cooked is much better. Raw cranberries are kinda of hard. Mincing them would probably give your cranberry relish a “grainy” texture. I’ve never tried it this way, so I could be wrong.

I think they may be too hard and sour. Just boil them for a bit

No- they are as sour and hard as hell.

I just put my cranberries in a saucepan with 1 tablespoon of water & sugar to taste (lots!!-lol) and simmer until the cranberries start to pop. Water can be substituted with juice or alcohol….It sets on its own very quickly.
Merry Christmas.

Of course you can make an uncooked cranberry relish.. it’s delicious!

4 cups cranberries: 1 lb.
1 whole orange, seeds removed
2 cups sugar

Grind: 4 cups cranberries: 1 lb.

Remove the seeds, then grind: 1 whole orange.

You may prefer to use only the yellow portion of the orange skin, as the white is often bitter. Stir into the cranberries the orange and 2 cups sugar.

You can also stir 1 cup of whipped cream or coolwhip into this if you like. Delicious either way!
