Ingredients

12 Components
Fresh Navel Oranges Large diced 2 count
Fresh Cranberries 4 bags (12 oz. each), washed well 48 oz.
Fresh Orange Juice 12 oz.
RC Cinnamon Flavor 3 tsp.
Ground Cloves 2 tsp.
RC Ginger Puree ¼ cup
Pure Honey 1 cup
Brown Sugar 2½ cups
RC No Added MSG Roasted Garlic Base ⅛ tsp.
RC Orange Flavor ¼ tsp.
Vanilla Extract ½ tsp.
RC Ancho Chipotle Sandwich Sauce Mix Dry powder 2 tsp.

Preparation Steps

1
Prep Fresh Citrus & Cranberries

Wash 2 fresh navel oranges thoroughly and cut them into large dice (including the peel). Wash 48 oz. fresh cranberries very well and discard any stray stems or leaves.

2
Coarse Pulse in Food Processor

Place diced oranges and fresh cranberries together in a commercial food processor bowl in batches. Pulse briefly until coarsely chopped; do not overprocess or purée—the relish should remain chunky.

3
Blend Sweeteners & RC Flavors

Transfer the chunky fruit to a large mixing bowl. Add 12 oz. fresh orange juice, 3 tsp. RC Cinnamon Flavor, 2 tsp. ground cloves, ¼ cup RC Ginger Puree, 1 cup honey, 2½ cups brown sugar, ⅛ tsp. RC No Added MSG Roasted Garlic Base, ¼ tsp. RC Orange Flavor, ½ tsp. vanilla extract, and 2 tsp. dry RC Ancho Chipotle Sandwich Sauce Mix. Stir thoroughly until sugars dissolve. Cover and refrigerate.

Chef Notes & Flavor Architecture

Savory & Smoky Depth: Adding a trace of RC Roasted Garlic Base grounds the tart citrus acidity with a subtle savory note, while dry RC Ancho Chipotle Sandwich Sauce Mix introduces delicate smoky complexity and a gentle touch of warmth.

Chef's "Umamify" Tip: To further enhance savory richness, simply add 1 tsp. RC Umami Sensations® Red Miso Powder and 1 tsp. RC Umami Sensations® Mirepoix Powder into the bowl.

Serving Ideas: Magnificent accompanying roasted turkey, glazed ham, roasted pork loin, charcuterie boards, or spooned over warm brie appetizer crostini.
