Simple recipes are my favorite. If a recipe has few ingredients, it has my attention.

Ingredients
1 12 oz bag of cranberries
1 cup sugar
1 seedless orange, quartered
Instructions
In a food processor, add the cranberries and quartered orange (seeds removed).
Leave the rind on the orange.
Chop the fruit until it’ has a relish consistency.
Place the mix in a bowl and repeat until all the cranberries and oranges are processed.
Add the sugar into the bowl and stir to incorporate.
Cover the relish with plastic wrap and allow to sit for 2-3 hours.
Once it has sat for (so it has developed some sugary juice), stir again. You can serve at this point, or place back into the fridge for another hour.
Notes:
You can make this recipe ahead of time, as long as your family won’t eat it.
We use bigger size naval oranges when we make this.
Be sure to wash all your fruit.
