Raw Cranberry Relish
This super sour raw cranberry relish is one of my favorite Thanksgiving dishes, in fact, it's one of my favorite dishes of all time!
Tart, tangy and full of healing properties, just last week I ate an entire test batch. I adore cranberries and stock up during this time of year while they are fresh, making fun cranberry dishes several times per week.
When they go out of season, I keep bags of frozen cranberries in the freezer as the boys enjoy my homemade cranberry sauce.
1 orange, peeled, sliced, seeds removed
1 lemon, peeled, sliced, seeds removed
2 dates, pitted and chopped
2 cups fresh cranberries
- Blend orange, lemon and dates in a food processor
- Add cranberries and process until coarsely chopped
- Serve
Beware, this raw, vegan relish is quite tart. If that is not your thing, just add a few more dates. Personally, I'll take mine super sour!
I would not recommend making this dish with frozen cranberries, though you can always give it a try to see how it turns out. If you do, please leave a comment and share your results.

Keep them coming! I love your site!!
Perfection.
I also have a favorite raw cranberry salad, but I make it with apples. I have great luck with keeping the fresh bags of cranberries stored in the freezer. I just let them thaw in the fridge a day before I make the salad.
