Cranberry-Orange Relish

The 2 main dishes I made today used traditional Indian spices (Spiced Potatoes and still-to-come Marrow Balls in coconut cream sauce) so when I tasted this today I couldn't help thinking it's similar to a chutney.  A little tangy, strong in flavor, probably a good accompaniment to a spicy main dish.

In any case, this is one of my mother's favorites for Thanksgiving - you take a bag of raw cranberries, a whole orange, and a bit of sugar, and throw it in the food processor.  (I had to use a blender but it worked alright.)

I'm guessing it was about 1 1/2 to 2 cups of cranberries, and it was a whole orange although i only used some of the skin (and all the juice) which was mostly because I thought it would help the blending process.  I just sprinkled some raw sugar after it was blended to taste, but it's still pretty tart.

I think, once I make the Marrow Balls, I will have myself a delicious dinner of rice with Marrow Balls, spinach-potato spice side dish, and cranberry relish chutney.  I'll let you know if it works well together when I post the Marrow Balls recipe!
