Cranberries don’t have to be complicated, but they don’t have to come out of a can either. Instead of simmering plump, tart New England berries, pulse them in a food processor with sugar and spices for a simple relish with a lot of zip. Make it a day or two in advance so you get at least one dish out of the way.

1 bag (12 ounces) cranberries
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup lightly packed light-brown sugar

Grated rind of 1 lemon (1 tbsp)
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup finely chopped candied ginger

1. In a food processor, combine cranberries, granulated sugar, light-brown sugar, lemon rind, grated ginger, and pepper. Pulse until the cranberries are finely chopped and the seasonings are well incorporated.

2. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the candied ginger. Cover and let stand for several hours or refrigerate overnight. Allow the dish to come to room temperature before serving.


Note: make exactly as is, the black pepper and sugar are not overwhelming.
